NEW YORK CITY - In response to Mayor Adams鈥檚 update about the City鈥檚 mental health involuntary removals policy, one year after its launch, the New York Civil Liberties Union released the following statement attributable to Executive Director Donna Lieberman:

鈥淔orcing vulnerable people into treatment was an old, failed strategy when Mayor Adams announced it a year ago, and it still is. Despite the Mayor鈥檚 victory lap, a policy that criminalizes New Yorkers experiencing mental health challenges and homelessness is not help. Notably missing from the Mayor鈥檚 touted accomplishments is any meaningful expansion of programming and housing for people coping with mental health issues. What鈥檚 worse, the irony of an administration applauding themselves for forcing some people off the streets while simultaneously pushing newly-arrived migrants one to them as winter begins is lost on no one.

鈥淎s with many of the Mayor鈥檚 policies involving people who are unhoused and facing mental health challenges, this program has lacked transparency, data collection, or public reporting from the jump. The Administration offered no data on its implementation, including whether people of color are being disproportionately targeted. It remains a mystery how being involuntarily hospitalized leads to 鈥榲oluntary鈥� placement in supportive housing. We鈥檝e had to sue the City over disclosure and are still fighting.

鈥淭he decades-old practice of the City sweeping deep-seated problems out of public view is all about politics. The problems will persist without a real commitment to address New Yorkers鈥� core needs.鈥�
