New York City Mayor‑elect Zohran Mamdani said Thursday he will halt homeless encampment sweeps when he takes office in January, breaking from Mayor Eric Adams’ 2022 initiative. Mamdani said his administration will prioritize connecting people to long‑term housing and cited a 2023 Comptroller audit that found sweeps largely failed to place people in shelter.
