The new pilot program by the Adams administration, as detailed by Homeless Services Commissioner Molly Wasow Park, aims to establish a 'culture of accountability' in city homeless shelters. This initiative will see the removal of residents engaging in gross misconduct, ensuring due process for those affected. The initial rollout will occur in a limited number of adult-only shelters to gauge implications and workload. Critics express concern over the potential displacement of individuals, while proponents believe the program will create safer conditions and allow city resources to support those genuinely seeking assistance.
It's common sense to get residents who attack others or actively sabotage efforts to find them permanent housing out of shelters.
Homeless Services Commissioner Molly Wasow Park told the City Council that to create a 'culture of accountability,' her department will begin temporarily booting residents who repeatedly engage in 'gross misconduct.'
Yet the commissioner says the change is starting on a 'very small scale' at just 'few' adult-only shelters so Homeless Services can 'understand the implications and the workload.'
Leftist whining is inevitable: Councilwoman Tiffany Caban groaned of her 'concerns' about allocating resources to 'push people out of housing.'
