"If we want to make New York City the best place to raise a family, we cannot turn our backs on those sleeping on our subways and streets," Adams said of his plan included in his 2025 State of The City address.
"This investment will allow us to expand support for New Yorkers who are living on our subways, wrestling with serious mental illness, and at risk of entering shelter. Above all, it will help us tackle street homelessness here in New York City."
"This program is a really big deal," Anne Williams-Isom, the deputy mayor for health and human services told The Post. She said the program shows compassion.
The proposal also includes adding 900 "Safe Haven" beds to house homeless New Yorkers and transition them to permanent housing - bringing the total to 4,900.
