New York City to crack down on homeless encampments

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) said he plans to start clearing out homeless encampments in the city.

In an interview with The New York Times published on Friday, Adams said he was seeking to clear the encampments within a two-week period, but did not say when.

"We're going to rid the encampments off our street and we're going to place people in healthy living conditions with wraparound services," Adams told the Times.

Last month, Adams banned people from sleeping or sheltering in the subway system following attacks in the city's stations.
