Update: It’s very cold. Police will begin removing people in 25 minutes, if not sooner. There are no warming busses. Only NYPD and CitiCare vans to transport people who “agree” to go to shelters, almost all of which are dorm-style or congregate settings. 
Three homeless NYers outside tried to go down to the station before 1AM, and were forced out. We provided socks but they were suspicious as to whether we played in any role in their removal. A sign of the challenges outreach teams will face more than ever moving forward.
A man who just woken up comes upstairs and asks “Where am I?”
He asks for the bus to the shelter, which is sitting outside, but no sign of outreach to let him in.
We run down to ask NYPD where they are. They don’t know.
By the time we came back up, the man had left.
