Mayor Eric Adams charged on Thursday that his administration has made massive strides in getting those living with homelessness out of the subway system, even as some critics say the impact has been minor.
Hizzoner made the announcement at the 34th Street-Herald Square subway station on March 20 while standing alongside NYPD Chief of Transit Joseph Gulotta and NYC Department of Social Services Commissioner Molly Wasow Park. Adams lauded the Partnership Assistance for Transit Homelessness program (PATH) for engaging with 11,000 unhoused New Yorkers since being implemented in August 2024. He also stated that outreach workers have given shelter, meals, and medical treatment over 3,000 times.
