Update: New York City now says it will not build a controversial homeless shelter on Madison Street in Chinatown.
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeless Services told CBS2 the location required demolition and construction at substantial cost.
"After reviewing planned shelter sites scheduled to open in Chinatown, we have decided to re-site this shelter capacity to an area with fewer services and shelter for those experiencing unsheltered homelessness," their statement read."Our goal is always to work with communities to understand their needs, equitably distribute shelters, and prioritize sites that can come online in a timely way to serve our most vulnerable New Yorkers.
