As Mayor Bill de Blasio looks to fulfil his promise of opening dozens of new homeless shelters around the city, one Brooklyn community rallied together against the plan.
Dozens of Crown Heights residents and elected officials marched against new shelters slated for the area.
Those shelters are part of the mayor's plan to open 90 shelters around the city over the next five years.
Those who oppose the action say they are not against helping the homeless, but believe the neighborhood has enough shelters.
"We see all of the shelters in this community are being clustered in minority communities," one protester said.
"They say this is temporary, but we have enough of these temporary places," another said. "The system thinks just adding another one in a neighborhood that has too many. That's why we have to tell them we've had enough."
A judge recently ruled in the community's favor, temporarily blocking one shelter from opening.
