Community Board 12, which serves Jamaica, Hollis, St. Albans, Springfield Gardens, Baisley Park, Rochdale Village, and South Jamaica, is furious with the way the city is dumping in their neighborhood.
This is not your typical form of dumping, the community is getting the city’s homeless problem dumped onto their door step.
CB12 has nine of the twelve homeless shelters in the district, many of which are in danger of being demolished due to lack of public funding.
CB 12, along with Community Activists, is fighting hard to stop this continuous onslaught of the inner-city’s attempt to clean every where else by essentially pouring all of its problem into one, already injured, area.
