City Hall released Tuesday the results from the first six weeks of Mayor Eric Adams’ effort to combat homelessness through outreach teams, service providers, and encampment removals.
According to a City Hall spokesperson, the new data findings are a product of visitations from DHS, DSNY, and the NYPD—and when needed the Parks Department—to above-ground homeless encampments throughout the five boroughs from March 8 to May 1. The city also states that the released statistics are preliminary since the aforementioned agencies continue to recanvass known encampments while also identifying new spaces.
