Mayor Eric Adams called out areas that haven’t “had their share of shelters” though stopped short of offering any specifics for how to get vagrants off the streets.
Mayor Eric Adams on Sunday hinted at opening more homeless shelters throughout the Big Apple — as he took aim at some “sacred cow” neighborhoods whose residents have waged war against the facilities.
“We can’t have any sacred cows where some communities believe they are not going to shoulder the burden. That is not going to happen.” Mayor Eric Adams suggested that the city might open more homeless shelters at a press conference in the Bronx on January 30, 2022.“I’m going to look at this particular issue. Find out what’s happening. I’m going to communicate with [Department of Homeless Services] and see exactly what’s taking place here,” the mayor insisted.“You know, I lived on the verge of homelessness as a child. I know what it is not to have a home, I know that.
“Now I would love for my shelters to be in communities that are stable, so that they can have access to transportation, access to medical health, access to employment, access to good healthy food. We can’t overburden communities.
