Sunset Slope Coalition is a collective of neighbors and community organizations committed to nurturing a neighborhood that upholds the dignity and well-being of every resident. Together, we are actively engaged in creating a compassionate community where kindness, empathy, and support form the cornerstone of our shared vision for a vibrant future.
Why We’re Organizing
You might have noticed posters and petitions around the neighborhood about the potential shelter site at 225 25th Street. As neighbors and community members, it's important for us to stay informed about what's happening with accurate and reliable information. We are dismayed that some of have taken an anti-shelter stance and are organizing around a negative portrayal of our homeless neighbors and a misunderstanding of what public safety truly means. Our focus is on welcoming new neighbors into the community and ensuring that any new shelter provides a safe home for some of the most vulnerable New Yorkers. As we move forward, we hope the Sunset Slope Coalition can broaden its focus and embrace more joyful efforts that honor the interconnected and vibrant nature of our community.
Who We Are
We are neighbors and community organizations working together to build a community of care. Sunset Slope combines Sunset Park and South Slope, covering the area from Prospect Avenue to 35th Street.
