- The headline highlights a significant policy shift as Mamdani parts ways with previous administration under Eric Adams.
- Zoran Mamdani, the NYC mayor-elect, is set to implement a new approach concerning homeless encampments in the city.
- Mamdani pledges that starting January, the city will no longer conduct sweeps to clear homeless encampments.
- This decision marks a departure from the policies of previous mayor Eric Adams, who initiated these sweeps.
- The change is motivated by Mamdani’s criticism of the previous sweeps, citing them as ineffective and not providing adequate housing solutions.
- The new policy aims to address homelessness by focusing on creating more substantial connections to housing rather than temporary removal.
