November 2022, Justin BrannThe city councilor, who represents the big patch of South Brooklyn, has been worried about women living at the same point on his Earth’s path since he was inaugurated in 2018. She was seen in the 70’s and resisted the service in the past, as if she had lost a lot of teeth, but now she hopes to get the necessary help.
At the time, Eric Adams had a controversial room. command It is known as a vision removal. It has been explicitly approved so that volunteer teams, police officers, nurses, emergency medical workers, and others have mental illness so that people with mental illness can meet their basic human needs.
But how did these decisions come true? Brannan said that a woman who lived in Bensonhurst’s sidewalk is the criterion when he puts it in the city behind the “fortress of the cardboard box.” Certainly, she was dangerous for her unless she was immediately term. So he was embarrassed to receive an e -mail that the volunteer team that approached her at the city hall inferred that she was okay. The team pointed out that she was fixed in her dental drug. This seemed to be the basis of the decision of stability, and she knew that she asked about receiving a metro card.
It took a few months back and forth with the urban institution, and Brannan took the woman to the shelter and asked to be connected to the house. The administrators explained that she rejected her repeatedly and could not accept it.
Brannan said, “I don’t know how we can say that we can take care of ourselves.
The crisis of homeless and mental health is one of the central problems of market campaigns. No matter how they have been solved or not, you can define what New York is. The crew problem is ethical as it is politics. At some point, do you ignore the legitimate personal choice for the benefit of individuals and citizens? Advocates on the freedom of citizens have said the same after the Koch administration.
Sandy Nurse, a member of the city council representing East New York, said, “We all have questions in front of us. “What does it mean to forcibly remove people when you’re not sure if there’s a mental health problem?” What is implicit to that question is that there is no agreement on how mental health problems appear when observable behavior is not necessarily rough or irregular.
The nurse said, “On -site workers, volunteer workers -they do not believe that the removal is appropriate for a person without a house,” the nurse said. And they are people who make early judgments. The woman who was worried about Brannan was suffering from his view. But according to the opinions of the people who came to her, she looked elastic and my mind despite what she chose.
Albani’s proposed bills are now being promoted by Adams Administration and Governor Kathy Hochul. Removal is often carried out by the police, but is never arrested. Between 2023 and 2024, the city has more than 7,000 people, and most of the 70 % (70 %) started on private and shelters, and then called on behalf of relatives or customers who are suffering.
This system is disturbed by the psychiatric beds of public hospitals and the lack of psychiatrists. But in the hands of homeless people who are mentally confusing, interest in violent crimes covered some of the progress that the city did. Since the ADAMS administration began, 1,500 “Barrier Beds” have been added to the system. They are a quiet alternative to gathering shelters, and they reject it because many homeless people find terrible things.
By the end of this year, nearly 700 of these beds are expected to be provided. Last year, about 1,200 people living on the streets moved to a permanent house, Molly Wasow Park, a social worker in the city. At the same time, 1,100 people were discharged from the main psychiatric hospital during the same period. The doctor was discharged from the rotating literary mental hospital who discovered “intense”.
In May, Park appeared at the city council budget hearing and Bran Nan talked about the woman on the earth. Brannan, chairman of the Finance Committee, asked about the removal of the Volarism. A year and a half later, the woman was still in the same sea bass and called him a heartbreaking and inhuman enemy. He insisted on a visaic removal on a merciful basis.
“Volunteer workers have to interact with someone before they are essentially involved?” He wanted to know. “If we visit our customers 20, 30, 40, 50 times, how long will it be to say that this person needs help?” Park sometimes said he needed 100 encounters to let people come in.
Was this sustainable? Brannan recently told me. “Who is the one who goes out of this movement and enjoys the benefits of this movement? no?’ great. Check the box. ” It definitely hit him inefficiently. “This is probably more money consumed in supporting housing than going out 70 times and providing a shower to someone.”
