Upper West Side group suggests affordable housing for old Calhoun School building

UPPER WEST SIDE, Manhattan (PIX11) -- An Upper West Side community group fighting the city's plan to open a homeless shelter has a new idea: Use the former Calhoun School lower building on West 74th Street for affordable housing.

The "Friends of the Upper West Side" issued a statement calling New York City Mayor Eric Adams to "seize the day" and convert the property into affordable apartments instead of a 146-bed shelter for single women.
