Mayor Eric Adams announced a $600 million initiative to tackle street homelessness in New York City. The plan includes adding 900 safe haven beds, expanding mental health services, and providing support for vulnerable populations like homeless youth. The initiative aims to address the root causes of homelessness and offer pathways to permanent housing.
During his fourth State of the City address, Mayor Eric Adams unveiled a $600 million initiative aimed at addressing street homelessness in New York City. The plan includes adding 900 safe haven beds to the existing 4,000, and it focuses on providing psychiatric care, substance abuse treatment, and support for homeless youths. "Several recent incidents have shown what happens when these issues go untreated," Adams said last week.
Hochul proposed revisions to Kendra’s Law, which currently allows courts to order Assisted Outpatient Treatment for individuals with mental illness who are deemed unsafe to live independently. The law aims to ensure these individuals receive the necessary care and support to reduce risks to themselves or others. Hochul’s proposed amendments would expand the criteria for involuntary commitment and make it easier for people to voluntarily seek treatment.
