Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani vows to end homeless encampment sweeps in NYC, prioritizing housing over enforcement.
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.
The move marks a departure from Mayor Eric Adams’ approach, which prioritized clearing encampments for public safety.
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.
While details on implementation remain limited, the plan emphasizes expanding shelter access and permanent supportive housing.
The decision comes amid rising public complaints—over 45,000 encampment-related 311 calls in 2025—and growing national debate over homelessness policy.
El alcalde electo Zohran Mamdani promete acabar con las redadas de campamentos de personas sin hogar en Nueva York, dando prioridad a la vivienda sobre la aplicación de la ley.
