New York City plans to open a “low-barrier” homeless shelter in a building attached to an elementary school in Lower Manhattan, meaning parents could soon find people with a criminal history or substance abuse issues next door to their kids.
“You just start to wonder, what was the thought process? Who’s checking boxes? Who’s placing these locations within the [Department of Social Services]? Who’s doing their due diligence to find out where they should go? There’s not even a certain amount of feet. It’s attached to the building of this elementary school,” father Kenny Grant told “Fox & Friends Weekend.”
Grant, whose son is set to enter kindergarten at the Peck Slip School, is one of many parents outraged by the decision that came to everyone’s attention last week.
