NYC gears up to boot rule-breaking residents from some homeless shelters: ‘Culture of accountability’

Mayor Eric Adams wants to revive a Bloomberg-era policy that allowed the city to at least temporarily boot rule-breaking residents from homeless shelters.

The policy was canceled under the de Blasio administration, but Adams plans to revive it as a pilot program at a “few” select adult shelters run by the city Department of Homeless Services, according to city officials and an Adams rep to The Post.

“Every shelter client is entitled to a safe environment on their path to self-sufficiency, and this pilot will help us achieve the high standard of care that clients want and deserve,” the representative said.
