New York City appoints Erin Dalton, a proven homelessness reduction expert, as new Social Services commissioner amid a growing crisis.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has appointed Erin Dalton, former head of Pennsylvania’s Allegheny County Department of Human Services, as the city’s new commissioner of Social Services.
Dalton, known for reducing homelessness through outreach and housing programs in Pittsburgh, will lead the nation’s largest municipal social services agency amid a worsening homelessness crisis, record-high shelter usage, and federal budget threats.
Her appointment follows the resignation of long-time commissioner Molly Wasow Park and comes as the city shifts encampment sweeps to the Department of Homeless Services, away from police.
Dalton’s approach emphasizes dignity, data-driven strategies, and expanding access to housing and essential services, though challenges remain in addressing affordable housing shortages and ensuring permanent solutions.
