A new type of facility will be operating out of the Hotel Mirage located at 1464 Atlantic Avenue. Bridge to Home, a program operated by NYC Health and Hospitals Corp. (NYC H+H), is a comprehensive program designed to assist individuals experiencing both chronic homelessness and behavioral health disorders to reduce the harmful cycle of going from hospitalization to street homelessness. Of important note is that Bridge to Home is NOT a traditional shelter and is not operated by a contractor under the NYC Dept. of Homeless Services. To facilitate smooth integration into the community, NYC H+H is proactively engaging community residents such as yourself to learn more about the program to better understand it’s value and impact on the community. To this end, they have scheduled an informational meeting in advance of the opening sometime this fall to answer resident’s questions and concerns. This meeting will be virtual, and will be held on Tuesday, September 8th from 6-8PM via Webex. You can use this bitly link (case sensitive) to join the meeting, or scan the QR code below: https://bit.ly/4gt4wVr. If

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani and New York City Department of Sanitation Commissioner (DSNY) Gregory Anderson announced Friday, April 17th that six new Community Districts across the city will have 100% trash containerization by the end of 2027.

By finishing the job on containerization, we will ensure New York City’s streets remain the envy of the world,” said Mayor Mamdani. “We have the plan, we’re investing the money and we’re delivering on the promise of clean, healthy streets for every neighborhood.” “Containerization is a long overdue step in bringing our city’s trash collection into the modern era, putting an end to the piles of garbage that have become far too common across our city,” said Deputy Mayor for Operations Julia Kerson. “We will be

Property owners must clean sidewalks (including areas like tree pits, grass strips, etc.) and gutter areas (18 inches from the curb into the street) along the building perimeter. If you fail to keep the sidewalks and gutters near your property clean and unobstructed, you may be fined up to $100.

NYC DOT Art program: Alex Strada, DCLA, and DHS (October 2025) NYC Department of Transportation’s Art program (NYC DOT Art) is partnering with Alex Strada, the Department of Cultural Affairs, the Department of Homeless Services, and the Storefront for Art and Architecture to present a signage installation on DOT signposts and streetlight poles throughout Brooklyn. Titled, “Public Address,” the artwork is the culmination of Strada’s three years as a Public Artist in Residency (PAIR) imbedded at the Department of Homeless Services. Over that time, Strada held log writing workshops across the boroughs engaging over 300 people living or working in the NYC shelter system in personal reflection and expression. This socially engaged artwork is aimed at destigmatizing homelessness by providing a platform for people living and working in city shelters to address the greater public. The display period is April 2026 through March 2027 and will be installed in conjunction with a larger sign installation at Columbus Park (through the NYC Parks Department). The project is currently installed in Manhattan and will continue to iterations in all five boroughs. NYC

Calling All Artists: Paint A DSNY Collection Truck! “Trucks of Art” Program Highlights Sustainability and Honors New York’s Strongest The New York City Department of Sanitation, together with the Sanitation Foundation, has announced Trucks of Art — a paid opportunity for artists to creatively paint an entire collection truck — is back! DSNY is welcoming all artists — professional, amateur and aspiring — to submit applications to transform a 46,000-pound collection vehicle into a work of art. Priority will be given to proposals that celebrate keeping NYC clean, sustainability, and the DSNY workforce. To promote sustainability, artists are encouraged to use paints that would otherwise be discarded or recycled. “Sanitation trucks have become part of our city’s streetscape, and today we announce a third opportunity for local artists to reimagine these trucks as 400 square feet of metal canvas and transform them into roving works of art,” said Acting Commissioner Javier Lojan. “Previous Trucks of Art are still on collection routes in all five boroughs, and we are thrilled to be adding five more to our fleet this spring.”
