PTH Participates in Press Conference Regarding the Closing of Peter's Place
Submitted by admin on Thu, 06/25/2009 - 21:20.
Speech given regarding the closing of Peter's Place by Joan Harrison, former resident of Peter's Place and Civil Rights Leader of Picture the Homeless during Wednesday's press conference on the steps of City Hall.
Wednesday June 24th, 2009
The recent media coverage of Peter's Place seems to confuse separate issues. One is the issue of the closing of Peter's Place. The other is the issue of the failure of Peter's Place to provide alternate living quarters for its residents. The latter complaint was voiced by many from the time I first resided at Peter's Place, and I was there for several months. Some seniors told me that they had been living at Peter's Place for several years. If improved accommodations had been made available, the closing of Peter's Place would probably be a matter of indifference.

Submitted by admin on Thu, 06/18/2009 - 22:21.I am writing in response to your front page article, "Outrage over plan to close Chelsea homeless shelter," (Volume 3, Number 24, June 4-17, 2009).
The outrage expressed by some seniors at the closing of city shelters and drop-in centers is completely understandable although, I believe, misplaced. If Peter's Place has been the only drop in center here specifically for seniors, its callousness in shutting down without providing alternate living quarters for its residents, frail as many are, is only a reflection of an endemic callousness there all along. Seniors should regard their ousting not as a tragedy but as an exodus.
