Smith Lines: 2 Message-ID: Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2004 07:02:08 GMT NNTP-Posting-Host: 4.65.241.68 X-Complaints-To: abuse@verizon.net X-Trace: nwrddc02.gnilink.net 1080630128 4.65.241.68 (Tue, 30 Mar 2004 02:02:08 EST) NNTP-Posting-Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2004 02:02:08 EST Xref: ccsf.homeunix.org fj.news.misc:188 There was an article in the NYT a few years back (1998-2001) about a woman who had bought up a tall old building that was going to be torn down, and converted it into a project for the homeless - lodging and public space for providing social services. I think the building was in Manhattan, and that she had raised some $20M for the endeavour, but this is less certain. I was certain I'd saved a clipping, but now I can't find it anywhere, nor have I had luck searching the NYT archives. Does anyone remember this or know about the project? If so, please point me in the right direction. Thanks!
