The 30th Street Shelter on the site of Bellevue’s former psychiatric hospital has been in disrepair for years.
New York City’s hulking homeless shelter in the former Bellevue psychiatric hospital, which for decades has served as the first stop for people seeking placement in the shelter system, will shut down by next month, city officials said on Thursday.
The Mamdani administration said that the 30th Street Shelter in Manhattan was in a “severe state of disrepair,” one of several sites it said it had inherited from the previous administration that had been neglected for years. Its current occupants, all single men, will be moved elsewhere by mid-March, and its intake center will close at the end of April.
