Experts offer Mamdani new advice about homelessness, following deep Streetsblog investigation

Streetsblog’s investigation focused on the broken system that fails to get desperately ill New Yorkers to hospital beds and then often cycles them back onto the street. Once back on the streets, they often end up in the subway system, where help can be hard to find. The Vital City analysis zeroed in the breakdowns and gaps in the city’s longer-term care and housing programs, where they found problems that echo the gaps identified with the city’s emergency response.
