Kingsboro Psychiatric Center
Kingsboro Psychiatric Center (KPC) is a state psychiatric hospital in the East Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City, operated by the New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH). It provides inpatient and outpatient mental health services for adults from Brooklyn and the surrounding area. It is part of the statewide OMH hospital network. The hospital occupies a portion of a historic psychiatric campus that originated in the 19th century as the Kings County Lunatic Asylum and later operated as the Long Island State Hospital and Brooklyn State Hospital before taking its present name in the 1970s. As 2025 Kingsboro is listed with 290 inpatient beds, a 70-bed addiction treatment annex, and a transistional residence with 48 beds. In 1998, a staff of 800 was reported. The campus has been recognized by cultural heritage organizations for its historic psychiatric buildings and former nursing school and for associations with figures such as folk musician Woody Guthrie and civil rights figure Betty Shabazz. Part of the Kingsboro campus has been targeted for redevelopment as a large mixed-use affordable housing project under New York State's Vital Brooklyn initiative.
