Closure of Nearby Benefits Center Clears Things Up

A photo of people reading the closure notice at a Union Square benefits center.
The city has closed the welfare benefits center at 12 West 14th St. This news matters to us because for many years, benefits seekers have mistakenly arrived at our building, 12 East 14th St., in search of services. It was confusing all around but is confusing no more.
