About this Episode
The New York Post reported that the city's Department of Homeless Services plans to push out 55 families and move in roughly 110 single adult men, with no public hearing and no criminal background checks, in a shelter sitting directly across the street from a park where kids and families gather. In this episode, I dig into what Mayor Zohran Mamdani's homeless policy actually looks like on the ground in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn.
Councilwoman Inna Vernikov is sounding the alarm. Meanwhile the nonprofit set to run the shelter is under federal investigation, and the city just handed it close to $200 million in contracts. The people of Brooklyn deserve a real answer.
