Mayor Adams planning to remove homeless encampments from NYC streets: NY Times report
The NYPD announced a citywide initiative to crack down on quality of life offenses, which critics say reinstates so-called "broken windows" policing. NJ Burkett has the story.
Adams did not say where people living in the encampments would go, and acknowledged officials cannot force anyone to go to a homeless shelter. He expected the effort to begin within two weeks. "We can't stop an individual from sleeping on the street based on law, and we're not going to violate that law," he said."But you can't build a miniature house made out of cardboard on the streets. That's inhumane."
In its most recent estimate in January 2021, the city said about 1,100 people were living in parks and on the streets - a number seen by many advocates as an undercount. Most of the roughly 50,000 homeless people in the city stay in shelters.
