Bronx Landlords in City-Subsidized Apartment Building Giving 40 Families the Boot [View all]
Tessa Stuart
Residents of 941 Intervale Avenue in the Bronx were abruptly informed via letter on Tuesday that the building's owner, Aguila, Inc., will no longer be operating the apartment building as a city-subsidized homeless shelter, and they are being forced to leave.
The letter, just three sentences long, was scant on details. "Over the coming weeks and months, you will be provided transfer information for placement in a new shelter," it read. No specific timeline was given, but residents say case managers showed up that day to help them pack up.
In fact, other than a phone number to contact for any "questions or needs while you [sic] stay at the Bronx Neighborhood Annex continues" they were given no information at all.
