Bill de Blasio vowed to end the use of hotels after a mom and her kids were killed in Staten Island. 

The city will use The Metropolitan to house homeless residents for at least two years, officials said.

The politicians signed on to a letter sent Friday to the Department of Homeland Security.

Neighbors protested outside of the hotel Thursday, although the city said a shelter isn't coming.

The funding will allow the troop to serve 14 additional city shelter sites, officials said.

A day after the shelter opened, a judge granted opponents a temporary stay on more families moving in.

Ten families with children moved into the Crown Heights facility Monday, the city said.

Residents say they weren't told before homeless men moved into the former Kingsboro Psychiatric Center.

The new official would coordinate community complaints and help people volunteer at the facilities.

The 106-bed men's shelter is set to open March 22 at 1173 Bergen St.

The city's first plan to open a shelter inside a Maspeth hotel was tabled last fall after mass protests.

Danielle McGuire and Peter Ambrose filed a notice of claim against the city and their landlord.

The facilities are among the first of 90 new shelters the mayor plans to create citywide.

There are 40 hotels in use for homeless residents, but fewer total shelters than in other boroughs.

The facility, located on Bergen Street near New York Avenue, will house employed men over 50.
