Mamdani's Plan: End Homelessness, Not Sweeps
Update: 2025-12-27
Description
New York Citys Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani faces a daunting task: tackling the escalating street homelessness crisis. He plans to end encampment sweeps, which have proven ineffective in relocating people to permanent housing. Instead, he proposes a new Department of Community Safety to handle homeless outreach and mental health calls, and to guide individuals towards housing options. Mamdani also aims to convert empty MTA spaces into medical clinics for the homeless and increase outreach workers in subway stations. He supports peer-led programs and advocates for a single entity to oversee the complex system addressing homelessness. Checkout Solipillow.com
