flag Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani vows to end homeless encampment sweeps in NYC, prioritizing housing over enforcement.

flag New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani announced he will end all homeless encampment sweeps starting in January, shifting focus to housing and support services instead of enforcement. flag The move marks a departure from Mayor Eric Adams’ approach, which prioritized clearing encampments for public safety. flag Mamdani argues that removing people without providing housing fails to solve homelessness, citing a city comptroller’s audit showing most displaced individuals returned to the streets. flag While details on implementation remain limited, the plan emphasizes expanding shelter access and permanent supportive housing. flag The decision comes amid rising public complaints—over 45,000 encampment-related 311 calls in 2025—and growing national debate over homelessness policy.
