Zohran Mamdani to stop all homeless encampment sweeps as NYC mayor, ending key Adams initiative

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani vowed Thursday to stop clearing homeless encampments throughout the Big Apple — ending a signature initiative pushed by the Adams administration since taking office.

The Democratic Socialist flatly told reporters at an unrelated press conference in Manhattan that he would stop all sweeps of makeshift settlements come the new year when he is sworn in as mayor.

According to 311 data, city officials received more than 45,000 complaints for encampments in the first 11 months of 2025.

And so it begins.
