As the Adams administration continues removing homeless encampments in NYC, the mayor has touted the creation of hundreds of new shelter beds. When pressed, city officials admitted the shelters were planned and paid for by the de Blasio administration.

“As of this week, we are creating 350 of the promised 500 safe havens and stabilization beds,” Adams said during a ribbon-cutting ceremony of a so-called safe haven shelter in the South Bronx on March 29th. It’s a claim Adams also made in February in a joint announcement on subway safety with Gov. Kathy Hochul.
“The 500 stabilizations and safe havens, we had that already. That is already in the works for us to open those,” Jenkins told city lawmakers on March 9th. Safe havens are a type of shelter tailored to serve homeless individuals who may be resistant to accepting other services, including traditional shelters, with a specific focus on those experiencing longer-term homelessness, according to a DSS spokeswoman. This type of shelter has on-site medical services or connections to other services such as medical clinics, case management, and housing placement services.
