I was at a midtown hotel yesterday as homeless New Yorkers were forced out. I’m going to share what I witnessed because the level of disregard Dept of Homeless Services showed for people’s health & well being was shocking & I think it’s a window into the damage they do regularly. Yellow buses lined up outside a midtown hotel in NYC.
I’ll start by saying that I’m friends with people who’ve lived in DHS shelters so I’m already aware of the terrible conditions: sleeping 30 ppl to a room, broken toilets, rotten food, people having mental breakdowns while you try to sleep. I was still not prepared for what I saw.
Where do I begin? The DHS move-out operation was an utter shitshow. Homeless residents stood outside for hours and hours in the 85 degree heat waiting for buses to take them to shelters. There were no staff outside to direct people, there were no bottles of water. It was chaos.
