A recent poll found that 79% of New Yorkers still back the city’s “Right-to-Shelter” mandate that guarantees housing to anyone in the Big Apple — showing board support for the idea, despite the ongoing migrant crisis that has strained the city’s resources.
The poll, first reported by Gothamist, found that 29% of people who answered the poll “somewhat support” the right-to-shelter-law, while another half said they “strongly support” the mandate. The survey was conducted by HarrisX, and used responses from around 1,000 adults.
