Residents in Clinton Hill Monday are applauding an announcement from the Adams administration that the controversial Hall Street Migrant Shelter, which in recent months has seen violence, measles outbreaks and overcrowding will be shutting down this June.

The residents are set to be relocated to a separate facility in the Bronx, according to City Hall.

"This is a victory for this community," said resident Shawn Dinkins.

Dinkins says he no longer feels safe taking his kids to a nearby park is often home to those who are removed from the shelter or are unable to return.

He says that following stabbings and shootings that took place in connection to the shelter, the community wanted to speak out and protest the conditions inside and the impact it is having on people.

Residents say they believe speaking out against those conditions made an impact on the decision to wind down the shelter.

"It is sad that it took multiple shootings on the same night to get people to understand what was happening here, and it was disappointing too that because many of us were witnessing just a huge amount of lawlessness," said resident Josephine Schiel.

It's a sentiment shared by Renee Collymore, a community organizer and former elected official for Clinton Hill, who says the shelter, which at peak saw over 4,000 occupants, was a failure for those inside and the community.

"Warehousing people like this is wrong, period, and when they do go to their new home in the Bronx I want to see they have the proper sanitary equipment, enough bathrooms, enough showers enough food, so they are not rummaging through people's trash, or harassing people on the street," she said.

Collymore says while the end date to what she describes as a nightmare for the community is good, the city does not have to wait until June to help increase the quality of life for those who live near the shelter.

"There is a smell of human waste, there is a strong trash issue, people are sleeping in these parks, and so we want to see more police, especially at night. We want to see DSNY coming out here and managing this, because this was not managed well enough," she said.

Council Member Crystal Hudson says the shelters need to be run better. She says she is working to make sure the months until the closure see more resources and more support for those inside.

She is also calling for an end to the 30- and 60-day stay limits inside those shelters - something she says leads to former inhabitants sleeping outside and creating many of the quality-of-life issues raised by residents.

Many of those inside the shelter say they were unaware of the move. One man who identified himself as a resident says he does not want to speak ill of the shelters or risk his safety, but says those outside the shelter, too, should be moved as well. He says he looks forward to better conditions in the new facility.

"You got people, no family, no shelter sleeping outside. We want people to understand we are all humans, we are all under God, we want to work let's work together build together," said resident Willie, who declined to give his last name.
