"We will meet them looking to connect them with shelter, looking to connect them with services, looking to connect them with a city that wants them to be sheltered and indoors and warm and safe.

Before taking office in December, Mamdani criticized how Mayor Eric Adams approached the city's homeless encampments, and he officially paused his predecessor's policy on Jan. 5.
