1/25🧵to share thoughts on last week’s @NYTimes story on Kendra’s Law + AOT in NYC, chronicling undeniable oversight failures over the yrs. Be assured, we won’t compound these tragedies by failing to draw lessons from them. But nor we will lose perspectiv. nytimes.com/2023/12/21/nyr…
2/25 The portrayal of a broken NYC AOT program is a distortion + a disservice to readers. A fairer, more measured story would make clear that whatever its flaws + resource challenges, AOT enhances public safety + has helped 1000s of vulnerable NYers gain a foothold on stability.
