The Holland House
By: William J. Poorvu and Michael A. Everett-Lane
Abstract
In November 1993, Edward Geffner, executive director of Project Renewal, Inc. (PRI), is proposing that his not-for-profit firm develop Holland House at 351 West 42nd Street in New York City into a single- room occupancy hotel for homeless people. He has put together a combination of subsidy programs that he hopes will allow PRI to remodel this rundown property and provide a number of social services in a supportive setting for this underserved population.
