Hell’s Kitchen After-School Program Threatened By Proposed Budget Cuts

HELL’S KITCHEN — For more than 100 kids in Hell’s Kitchen, the Police Athletic League‘s Duncan Center, on West 52nd Street, has long been the only place to go after school.

But cuts proposed by the mayor’s office in its upcoming budget would forced the only PAL center in Hell’s Kitchen to eliminate after-school and summer camp programs that many of the neighborhood’s working parents rely on, advocates said.
