The city’s proposed budget includes more than $170 million for homeless services, including temporary housing, Mayor Eric Adams said Sunday.
during the first weeks of the effort, Adams has repeatedly defended his push, declaring that living on mattresses and under tents in public spaces is “unhumane” and isn’t “dignified.”
“The previous administration talked about these beds. We are funding these beds,” Adams boasted of the Safe Haven additions. “There is a big difference between articulating the needs of people and allocating the money to give the items that are needed for people, and that’s what we are doing.James Keivom
“The funding will include expanding outreaching efforts and connecting those in need to specialized resources,” he added. A homeless person living in an encampment stands outside her tent with a sign to protest the police and sanitation workers in Manhattan.“This funding will help expand these efforts … the things that people have stated constantly, ‘These are the things that you need to do,’ ” said Adams, whose overall proposed budget comes in at around $98.5 billion.
