Welcoming the E. 91st St Safe Haven

In August 2022, over 50 residents, business owners, political leaders, Community Board members, and faith leaders on the Upper East Side sent an open letter to businessman Eli Zabar, following news that he has opposed and has been fighting in court to delay the construction of the East 91st Street Safe Haven, a critical transitional housing project slated for 419 E. 91st St. on the Upper East Side, to be operated by Goddard Riverside. The open letter, which expressed community support for the Safe Haven, was also shared with local elected officials.
