Prospect Heights
Brooklyn, New York

This building, currently a homeless shelter, would be demolished for Atlantic Yards.

The building behind 603 Dean, 750-754 Pacific Street, would also be demolished.

The vacant lot next to it used to be the Ward Bread Bakery.

As reported yesterday, by Atlantic Yards Report:

Residents in a two-building shelter for homeless families in the Atlantic Yards footprint just got some not-so-sunny holiday greetings, as the facility is slated to be closed by January 15.

A mandatory meeting at Pacific Dean will be held tonight "to provide details and help you through the transition," according to a message distributed to residents.

The buildings typically house more than 90 families. Some will be moved to permanent housing, others to another shelter.
