“ People have nowhere to go because there just has not been any serious investment in affordable housing for the people who need it,” said @GiffenDave, Exec. Dir, for @nyhomeless. "There is simply no place for low-income New Yorkers to live."

Tune into @ny1 tonight, 7pm, for a panel discussion with @errollouis and CFTH Executive Director, @GiffenDave, talking about how to actually help homeless NYers with mental illness.

[Coalition for the Homeless @NYHomeless]

We dive a little deeper in @giffendave's op-ed "Really aiding those with mental illness" published in @nydailynews this week. https://t.co/W8uqQYVan0

Coalition for the Homeless Executive Director @GiffenDave pens an op-ed in @NYDailyNews, addressing what really WILL help those experiencing mental illness. https://t.co/W8uqQYVan0

Experts are urging all mayoral candidates to make ending homelessness a central campaign issue and to adopt the plan’s recommendations, which fall into four primary categories. https://t.co/mEUolYULJk

[Coalition for the Homeless @NYHomeless]

“Why in God’s name would you put a policy in place that is going to result in the highest needs individuals, those that are having difficulties in adhering to these new policies, being sanctioned out of shelters," asked @giffendave, CFTH Dep. Exec. Dir. https://t.co/r0SkWWx5uj

[Coalition for the Homeless @NYHomeless]

Sweeps do nothing more than punish people for being homeless. $3.5 million and hundreds of personnel hours wasted on this idiotic, counterproductive, and inhumane policy that only makes life harder for people struggling to survive and get back on their feet. 2/

“The last thing anyone...wants to see is more people relegated to sleeping on our streets. The City continues to assure us they have enough beds...but we’re monitoring the situation very closely,” CFTH Exec. Dir. @GiffenDave told @CityLimitsNews. https://t.co/VblvMild4n

[Dave Giffen @GiffenDave]

Mind-blowing that the mayor is speaking at an M/WBE ceremony at 4pm when he’s in bed with the people trying to eliminate that very concept.
