Mamdani breaks with Adams, vows NYC will stop clearing homeless encampments in January
New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani said Thursday he would stop clearing homeless encampments when he takes office in January, ending a longstanding practice by Mayor Eric Adams’ administration.While answering questions at “Hot Chocolate, Frozen Rent” in Manhattan, Mamdani confirmed he would halt sweeps of homeless encampment sites across the city, marking one of his clearest breaks yet from an Adams policy launched in 2022.
