Background
New York City community boards are advisory bodies. They hold public meetings, take testimony and can issue recommendations, but they generally do not have final approval power over projects like shelters. The Department of Homeless Services typically notifies community boards and local elected officials when it plans a new shelter, and board meetings are often where residents first hear details and raise concerns.
