In just his first few months in office, Mayor Eric Adams has launched a devastating offensive on unhoused New Yorkers, systematically demolishing nearly 200 subway or street encampments where street homeless New Yorkers have gathered themselves and their limited possessions. The Adams administration decision to dismantle homeless encampments reached a peak this week, as the city faces frigid temperatures and an ongoing pandemic, and the Mayor has vowed to remove all encampments by Friday, April 1, when the search and destroy mission for new encampments will begin again. Meanwhile, this administration is proposing to cut critical funding to housing programs and has done nothing to open up existing supportive housing units.
By enacting failed “broken windows” policies of the past, Mayor Adams has made it clear that he is more concerned about appearances than the lives of homeless New Yorkers. Mayor Adams’ sweeps are about creating a sanitized appearance of order, safety, and security, despite the harm it causes our most vulnerable neighbors. The City, unwilling to do the difficult long-term work of ensuring true safety and stability, which includes deeply investing in housing, sanitation, education, transit, economic support, and health, is instead scapegoating unhoused New Yorkers. We, the undersigned New Yorkers, elected officials, advocates, organizations, and directly impacted people, reject Mayor Adams anti-homeless campaign, and offer our vision where all New Yorkers are housed, and housing is truly a human right.
Mayor Adams has couched his approach in terms of connecting people with services, and has called street homelessness “inhumane.” Yet, his approach is far more inhumane, as sweeps of the subway and street encampments are violent, damaging, and ineffective at connecting homeless New Yorkers with services or housing. The Mayor is forcing street homeless people to choose between two terrible options: to sleep on the streets or return to temporary congregate shelters that many unhoused people avoid due to terrible past experiences, restrictive rules, and/or lack of safety. None of these choices houses people in permanent, stable, and safe housing. The truth lies in the numbers. According to the Brooklyn Paper and city data, of the nearly 260 people the City sweeped on March 27, 2022, just 13 elected to head to a shelter.
The Mayor’s sweeps do little more than force the movement of street homeless New Yorkers from one place to another, often after losing their limited possessions in the process, possessions that aided in outdoor survival, in sometimes brutal weather conditions. These efforts leave people in more precarious situations than they began in. And the Mayor’s policy violates CDC guidance on the spread of COVID-19, as movement and dispersing of people creates the potential for infectious disease spread, as reported by the Gothamist.
Furthermore, the Mayor is targeting homeless New Yorkers in a misinformation campaign that associates unhoused people with violence, despite the fact that homeless New Yorkers are more likely to be victims or survivors of violence than perpetrators, especially those who are street homeless. 2021 was one of the deadliest years for homeless New Yorkers. Homeless New Yorkers have also been blamed for trash build up despite the fact that, as in the case of the BQE encampment, members of the encampment routinely worked with the Sanitation Department and neighbors in clearing trash often left by drivers and businesses. This rhetoric distracts us from the real work needed to house New Yorkers in safe, permanent housing.
The City could end homelessness today. Unhoused New Yorkers and advocates working with them have been articulating the solutions to homelessness and street-based homelessness for years. Yet, instead of listening, the City keeps employing the same failed, inhumane, violent policies that hurt, devastate, and violate homeless New Yorkers instead of housing them.
What is needed is clear. The City could support and house New Yorkers by restructuring street homeless outreach to meet needs in a harm reductionist approach, meet their immediate needs, end discriminatory screening for supportive housing placement, and end policing of street homeless New Yorkers, as recommended by Human.nyc and The People’s Plan. According to the Post, enough units of supportive housing to house all street homeless New Yorkers are sitting vacant because of bureaucratic inefficiency, under-resourcing, and discriminatory screenings that leave out New Yorkers who need housing and support the most. Street homeless New Yorkers also should be offered single occupancy “safe haven” units, as advocates from Coalition for the Homeless, VOCAL, and the Safety Net Project recommend.
In addition to these more short term measures, the City must fundamentally right-size the budgets for housing New Yorkers permanently and in the long run. The homelessness crisis facing our city will only worsen as the Mayor’s budget proposal aims to slash funding from services critical to servicing community members at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness. Under the Mayor’s current budget proposal, there are no increases in capital budgets for Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) or the City’s public housing authority (NYCHA). The proposal also cuts expense budgets and personnel from HPD, Department of Homeless Services (DHS), and Department of Social Services (DSS).
According to The People’s Plan, the City must fund urgent increases for caseworkers to meet the needs of the City’s expanded voucher program. This would aid in a rapid transition of unhoused people from shelters to permanent housing. The City must invest $4 billion per year for NYCHA repairs and HPD’s preservation and creation of affordable housing, as recommended by United for Housing. The City should also put increased resources into Right to Counsel and the Anti-Harassment Tenant Protection Program to ensure more New Yorkers are protected from eviction and homelessness. The City should also reform CityFHEPS to make it easier for New Yorkers to access and retain the voucher to keep immediately housing people under this important policy. Finally, instead of letting go of city workers and utilizing city workers in the destruction of homeless encampments, the City could repurpose workers to roles critical to actually housing New Yorkers in emergency and permanent housing, as recommended by City Workers for Justice.
We urge the mayor and city council to pass a budget that provides housing, dignity, and care for unhoused New Yorkers, and includes deep investments in expense and capital housing budgets as listed above. We also urge the Council to include these investments in their Council budget response, and use their legislative and oversight power to stop the mayor’s damaging actions.
