A Code Red has been declared by the Dept. of Homeless Services. Should any New Yorker see an individual who appears to be homeless and in need out in the heat, please call 311 and an outreach team will be dispatched to offer assistance.
Before you complain about what you don’t have, look around your community. There’s people living in cardboard boxes and dumpsters who still SMILE everyday. Appreciate what you have because those people would die for a glimpse of what you have and yet you pass by them everyday 🥺
Temperatures are to go below freezing tonight. If you see anyone at risk, especially those living on the street, please call 311. During #CodeBlue, shelter is available system-wide for anyone brought to a shelter by outreach teams. Accommodations are also available for walk-ins.
