Statement Wednesday, December 20, 2023 Save Our Community Center, former CHARAS/ P.S. 64, (SOCCC-64) is thrilled to report that the building that once housed CHARAS/EI Bohío is no longer in the hands of Gregg Singer. We have fought for over 20 years to stop the now former owner from demolishing the landmarked building and violating the community use restrictions on the property. We salute the purchaser of the loan note on the building and look forward to working to restore our once vital center for future generations. Since the auction of the building in 1998 and the eviction of the center in 2001, community advocates and watch dogs persisted in safeguard the landmark. Throughout this long-fought battle, the support of the LES community and all of our current and former elected officials has held strong. Our allies have fought side-by- side with us over the past decades to foil Gregg Singer's repeated attempts to develop the building as a glorified youth hostel. "For more than twenty years, activists, elected officials, and community members have been working to save CHARAS, and return this beloved center to the community. I am proud to fight alongside the local coalition to preserve the cultural heritage of the Lower East Side. I hope that through continued organizing and advocacy that CHARAS can be reclaimed by the community that played a pivotal role in creating a space for cultural expression and a source of joy for all residents," said Council Member Carlina Rivera (D-02). "More than twenty years ago, the Lower East Side lost a vibrant community center when the City sold this building, but the community has never given up on the fight to bring CHARAS back," said State Senator Brian Kavanagh, whose district includes the site of the building as did the district he represented in the Assembly for 11 years. "While the original sale was ostensibly supposed to ensure that the site would serve a 'community use,' the transaction went forward without any specific plan for the site, and it has been put to no productive use in the ensuing decades. I am glad that the site is under new ownership, and I urge the new owner to work with community leaders, elected officials, artists, and activists to restore the property for genuine community use -- with all the promise it holds to provide invaluable services, resources, and space for the community to gather." "CHARAS/El Bohio Community Center is an important landmark on the Lower East Side," said Assembly Member Harvey Epstein. "Today marks a critical step in the effort to save this pillar of our community from terrible schemes to change the character of the building and community.I look forward to the day we can reopen the doors to CHARAS/ El Bohío and allow it to serve as a hub for artists, and activists and operate as a community center for years to come" "Community Board 3 supports the return of 605 East 9th Street, the former P.S. 64 school building, known as CHARAS/El Bohio to community and cultural use. In a 2013 resolution, and a later 2017 resolution, we have articulated and demanded the need to reclaim this resource, we have hosted well attended town halls, and most recently brought this to the attention of Mayor Eric Adams in a letter. We remain committed to this process." - Andrea Gordillo Board Chair, Manhattan Community Board 3 "CHARAS was beloved as a center for the arts, activism and social justice, a place the community could gather, where artists could create and activists could meet. We look forward to the day we reopen the center and restore services to the community" - Chino Garcia, Executive Director, CHARAS, Inc. "The long nightmare of Gregg Singer's ownership of CHARAS/El Bohío Community Center is finally over. This critical New York City landmark must be preserved and should return to serving our city and our community as it did since it inception, before that virtuous cycle of service was interrupted by former Mayor Giuliani's sale of the building to Singer.
