The city has signed an occupancy agreement with Henning Inc., a local nonprofit that previously handled operations at the shelter inside Sullivan Arena and two converted hotels, which will be the contractor in charge of running services at the property. According to thesubmitted to the Assembly, Henning will pay $1 a year to lease the building, and be responsible for covering everything from maintenance and operations to security and utilities.
