Community meeting on the former P.S. 64/Charas/El Bohio Community Center

Save Our Community Center (SOCCC-64) is hosting a meeting this evening (Sept. 30) to share updates on the restoration of the former CHARAS/El Bohio/P.S. 64 at 605 E. Ninth St. between Avenue B and Avenue C. 

The building, which served the Lower East Side as a community and cultural center for over 20 years, was sold in 1998, went into foreclosure in 2022, and was auctioned in 2023. 

The new owner, a philanthropic entity, is working to revive the long-dormant building, which requires urgent repairs, for community use. However, progress has been slow to date. (See links below.) 

Former tenants and community members are encouraged to attend tonight's meeting, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Middle Collegiate Church, 50 E. Seventh St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue, 4th-floor studio
