Gov. Kathy Hochul is speeding up the deployment of mental health workers to New York City in the wake of a fatal subway shove in Times Square.
Martial Simon, 61, allegedly pushed Go in front of an oncoming subway train.The teams, dubbed, “safe options support,” will be comprised of social workers sent throughout the subway system and will be rolled out as soon as next week.
The news came Friday with the state posting a request for proposals online, allowing nonprofits to submit bids on the program. “Working with our partners in New York City, we’re taking action to help make our streets and subways safer,” Hochul said in announcing the rollout. “Too many New Yorkers are sleeping on our streets and subways – they need resources and support to get back on their feet. By deploying outreach professionals to targeted areas, we will help improve safety and ensure New Yorkers experiencing homelessness have the support they need.”
