Mayor Eric Adams announced Tuesday a new homeless initiative he hopes will allow easier access to social services for the unhoused.
Adams revealed that New York City’s business community has pledged over $8 million to support the expansion of Breaking Ground, a nonprofit social services organization. Dubbed the Homeless Assistance Fund, the collective public-private initiative looks to provide health resources to those currently experiencing homelessness while also accelerating the process of individuals living with mental illness into treatment programs and housing.
