City Drops Plan for Queens Homeless Shelter Amid Mounting Opposition

Plans to turn a Queens Holiday Inn into a homeless shelter have been dropped following mounting opposition from the community. Protesters once again demonstrated outside the hotel Monday. The city announced that the protests were successful. Instead of fully converting the hotel, the city plans to rent 30 rooms for employed, single adults.
