evidence: NEW YORK—The de Blasio Administration today announced its first-in-the nation, 6- Point Action Plan to end long-term street homelessness in New York City over the next five years. The plan will increase housing, mental health and medical services for unsheltered individuals, and enhance outreach resources to deliver more urgent and rapid responses to unsheltered individuals in need. "Homeless New Yorkers are just like us—they deserve our love and compassion and a commitment to go as far as we can to help," said Mayor Bill de Blasio. "So here’s our promise: we will help every last person experiencing long-term homelessness off our streets and we will do more than we ever thought possible to bring them home." [...] "The de Blasio administration is rising to meet the moral challenge of street homelessness with a bold plan the likes of which our country has never seen," said Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Dr. Raul Perea-Henze. "This action plan to end long-term street homelessness is rooted in lessons we have learned about the power of persistent outreach and coordinated care for the whole person wherever they are in their journey. We call on all New Yorkers to help us bring family members, friends and neighbors back home from the streets."
