A community board in Lower Manhattan passed a resolution Tuesday night opposing plans to put a homeless shelter in a now-vacant hotel in Chinatown.

The final vote was 37-6 against transforming the hotel on Grand Street into a shelter.

Community Board 2 covers south of 14th Street and north of Canal Street, with boundaries on the Hudson River and western part of Bowery and 4th Avenue. The resolution is non-binding, meaning it is merely a recommendation for the city.

Before the meeting, several dozen members from the community rallied on Mott Street, where they spoke during the virtually held board meeting.

“They’re basically killing the neighborhood,” said Anthony Bochan, who has lived in Chinatown most of his life and runs a restaurant now.

He said he’s afraid the proposed shelter will severely impact business.

“Forget about the safety part. People are not going to want to go by that because of the spate in homeless crime recently,” he said.

Others expressed concern it’s near several schools or daycares.

“The closest one is across the street literally 50 feet away from the shelter,” said Susan Lee, who is the founder of Alliance for Community Preservation and Betterment.

There were also many supporters of a shelter voicing their opinions at the meeting.

“These people are part of our community. It’s our responsibility to help,” one of them said.

Some of them said the proposed shelter would be a Safe Haven site that can better help people transition to more stability.

“A site that offers private, safe rooms with services that will help folks is much better than having those people sleep on the streets,” said another supporter.

Opponents argue there are enough shelters in Chinatown already. Some claimed there are already six in existence and another four are being proposed.

According to the website Locality, which tracks neighborhoods in New York City, only three of the current sites and two being proposed are within Chinatown limits.

But Anthony Bochan argued before adding even one more shelter, there needs to be a solution to anti-Asian hate crimes that have rocked New York City.

“We can’t bring more people down here and not address that,” he said.

Lee said she hopes the outcome Tuesday leads to a bigger conversation with Mayor Eric Adams and the City Council about where to put more shelters.
