(ELMHURST, NY) Friday, December 12, at 1:00 PM, Chair of the Social Services Committee, State Senator Tony Avella, will join Elmhurst United to shed light on the horrendous conditions of the Pan Am emergency homeless shelter.
The Pan Am Hotel emergency homeless shelter, located in Elmhurst, Queens, was converted in July to a homeless shelter, under a six month emergency contract set to expire on December 5th, 2014. However, an application submitted in November would convert the Pan Am Hotel from an emergency to permanent shelter, a practice that has become commonplace among City shelters. The conversion application has now raised serious questions about the City's desperate need for housing, quality of life issues, and a host of other problems.
WHO: Senator Tony Avella, Elmhurst United & Area Residents
WHERE: Pan American Hotel, 79-00 Queens Blvd, Elmhurst, New York
WHEN: FRIDAY, December 12th at 1:00 PM
