Socialist New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has vowed to stop clearing out homeless encampments in the city, breaking policy with the Adams administration. The policy from Mamdani will go into effect in January when he takes office.
Mamdani confirmed that he would be stopping any sweeps of homeless encampments, which is one of the clearest breaks he has had from Adams, who established a policy in 2022 that saw to it that homeless encampments were taken off the streets.
