Eighty homeless families at a shelter in the Atlantic Yards footprint are being moved this week to permit demolition of the building for arena construction. While most residents are headed for permanent housing and the remainder to other shelters, homeless advocates object to the loss of beds. Crystal Waters, who sang about the homeless in a 1991 hit will perform at a protest rally Saturday.
