Show Notes
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has resumed homeless encampment sweeps, marking a shift from past policies. The new approach involves giving seven-day notices and sending outreach workers to offer shelter and services. However, homeless advocates criticize the sweeps as cruel, while business leaders and council members urge action due to increasing encampments. The city is expanding alternatives, including new Safe Haven beds and shutting down troubled shelters, with the new Social Services Commissioner aiming for dignified housing pushes.
