Public Advocate Jumaane Williams told Mayor Bill de Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo on Monday to stop shuffling the homeless population like cattle to conceal rather than confront New York City’s housing crisis on the one-year anniversary of the creation of hotels as temporary shelters.
On July 26, homeless individuals, elected officials, and human rights advocates took the mayor and governor to task for the continued removal of unhoused hotel residents to “dangerous” congregate shelters on the anniversary they were originally transported.
