New York Acts Quickly Amid Sharp Rise in Homelessness AARON EDWARDS's article from New York Times link here!
"...The administration is not legally obligated to get the approval of community boards before opening shelters, but its policy requires it to tell them of its plans ahead of time.
Of the nine new shelters, the city opened three, including the two in Manhattan, under its emergency authority, giving little notice before proceeding. Several of the other shelters were opened under normal practices but officials had moved quickly. The city told a community board in the Bronx this week that a 50-unit homeless shelter would open within days.
By law, the city is obligated to supply shelter to people who have nowhere else to go, though there are limits to how long they can stay in certain shelters... "
SHOULD SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COUNTIES FOLLOW THIS EXAMPLE?
