Mayor to Streamline City Bureaucracy in Attempt to Better Help the Homeless

“We know that we can keep people from ending up in shelter if we get to them in time,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a press conference Monday.

Prevention is now an essential part of the city’s plan to drive down the homeless rate.
