New neighborhood foot patrols to eliminate disorder and chaos on the ground, emulating the successes we’ve had on 14th Street and 1st Avenue. Boost headcount at neighborhood precincts to make sure resources are on the ground solving crimes.

Tackle the problem of repeat offenders because we know a small portion of individuals commit a disproportionate number of crimes. Learn more
Create a nation-leading 2K program in NYC so new families have the tools they need to set their children up for success. Work to achieve universal Pre-K and 3K for every child in the five boroughs.

Increase the number of mental health beds. Once we get this vulnerable population off the street, we need to invest in the resources necessary to deliver quality care. That means adding mental health beds to meet the demonstrated need. Update New York’s involuntary commitment standards. This would ensure more at-risk individuals get the care they need, while simultaneously keeping the broader public safe. The most caring and compassionate way to solve this problem is to get this population the treatment they need rather than being resigned to our streets or subway system without any intervention.

Those students still need to get around after school. That’s why I’m calling on the MTA to give ALL students access to the student OMNY card program 7 days a week and 365 days a year. Learn more
Getting to LaGuardia from Manhattan is a nightmare. It’s about time there was a free shuttle to LaGuardia Airport. I’m proposing we pilot a free shuttle bus from Manhattan to LaGuardia to make less New Yorkers dread getting to the airport. Learn more
Fully staff our agencies with outreach workers, so we’re able to make direct contact with 100% of the street homeless population on a regular basis. Create better discharge plans to ensure this vulnerable population doesn’t end up back on the street. Learn more
