Twenty years after the hospital was closed, and the community rejected using it as an overflow for a Bronx-based drug rehab program,[2] the structure was adapted into a temporary relocation facility for "welfare families now in hotels as well as families left homeless by fires."[1][3]
It subsequently became a homeless men's shelter.[4][5]
