“If you’re going to clear it out, help us,” Gloria, who says she’s been living on the streets for more than a year, says about Mayor Adams' effort to clear out homeless camps. She says she was denied a detox center bed due to not having a mailing address.
Police and city workers remove a homeless encampment on the Lower East SideAn effort to clear hundreds of homeless encampments across New York City has resulted in only five individuals accepting beds at a city shelter, Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday.
Adams said that while the number of those who had accepted shelter was low, he was hopeful they would rise over time as city workers establish trust with homeless individuals. The latest encampment removal began on March 18th. The mayor said he didn’t have a total count of the number of people the city had contacted who’d lived in encampments.that has since resulted in more than 300 people accepting shelter and city services.
Details about the initiative come as the mayor faces sharp criticism from advocates who say that policing and removing encampments is inhumane and only serves to scatter homeless people to other sites. Adams is not the first mayor to conduct this type of sweep.
