Some homeless people are being housed at a shuttered Manhattan hotel, The Post has learned.
At least 61 rooms of the Radisson Hotel on Williams Street in the Financial District were being used, sources said.
A worker told The Post the hotel was closed, but that they were “housing a group of people” — and security guards were stationed at the entrance Saturday.
A law-enforcement source had previously told The Post that the hotel was housing inmates freed from Rikers Island to stanch the spread of coronavirus there. The source confirmed Sunday that the Department of Homeless Services was renting rooms at the hotel.
“There are no detainees from Rikers at this hotel,” said City Hall press secretary Freddi Goldstein, adding that no one staying there was a Department of Correction charge.
