Mayor Eric Adams announced that 239 homeless encampments had been cleaned up across New York City so far.
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.
Tuesday, Mayor Adams opened the Morris Avenue Safe Haven site in the Bronx, with 80 beds available to New Yorkers experiencing homelessness. It's part of the 500 additional low-barrier beds announced in his Subway Safety Plan, 350 of which will be open to serve New Yorkers this week. "We are engaged in a multi-agency mission to get people the help they need and keep our public spaces clean, and we are getting that work done ahead of schedule," said Mayor Adams."As the mayor of all New Yorkers, I am not going to abandon my neighbors to face suffering, freezing, violence, or death - especially when the city has the power to help.
The second phase of the task force's effort - which begins Thursday March 31 - will include an evaluation of recanvassing and scheduling of the next round of site visits. The task force will also return to the sites that remain active and have not yet been fully cleaned to complete that work. At some sites, teams visited and decided to delay cleaning to allow additional time needed by those living at those sites.
