The new law also reiterates that New Yorkers have a right to shelter, a mandate in place since 1981. To make more room, the city has rented out entire hotels and found temporary accommodations in nearby counties.
FILE - Sotero Cirilo stands near the tent where he sleeps next to other homeless people in Queens New York Mayor Eric Adams allowed a "Homeless Bill of Rights" to become law over the weekend, a step supporters say will strengthen legal protections for the unhoused in a city struggling with a record number of people in its shelter system.
Police can clear sidewalks and streets of anyone who impedes the flow of traffic. Most city parks close at 1 a.m. And people can’t generally sleep on privately owned property. The new law also reiterates that New Yorkers have a right to shelter, a mandate in place since 1981 when a court ordered the city to provide temporary housing to anyone who asks for it.
Adams, a Democrat, also recently asked a judge to temporarily relieve the city of a decades-old, court-imposed legal obligation to provide shelter for anyone who needs it. The mayor said the city wasn’t seeking to end New Yorkers’ unique "right to shelter," only a suspension of the obligation to provide housing during times when its shelter system is overwhelmed.
