New York State is working with mayor on NYC homeless encampment: Gov. Hochul

A growing homeless encampment on Manhattan’s West Side is drawing renewed attention near Hudson Yards, the Javits Center and the Intrepid Museum. On Good Day New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul said crimes need to be addressed and that leaving people on the streets without mental health support is “not compassionate.” When asked whether the mayor needs to change his approach, Hochul said he is “working on his approach” and that her administration is working with him behind the scenes to help.
