Opinion Opinion: Why Are So Few NYC Houses of Worship Sheltering People?
58
Upvotes
“Beginning under Mayor Koch in 1981, dozens of houses of worship partnered with drop-in centers to shelter New Yorkers experiencing homelessness each evening. The model was relatively simple: guests would arrive at a drop-in center and be bussed to a participating house of worship staffed by volunteers, where they would receive a warm bed, showers, dinner, and breakfast.
Only a few people would stay in each space on a given night—a stark contrast to large congregate shelters where hundreds might sleep barracks-style in a single room. In the morning, guests would be transported back to the drop-in center. For decades, this transient but reliable system provided a dignified alternative for people reluctant to enter the city’s crowded municipal shelter system.
Then came COVID, and our city’s shelter system moved away from congregate settings. Funding for transportation to and from drop-in centers dried up. Many volunteers understandably stayed home. The house of worship-based shelter network went comatose, and six years later, we still have not rebuilt the infrastructure needed to wake it up.”

News Ambulance Response Times Soar in New York: ‘This Is Unacceptable’
114
Upvotes
Archive link provided to free NYTimes article.
Summary: NYC ambulance response times have deteriorated sharply. Life-threatening calls take 41% longer than a decade ago, driven by severe EMS staffing shortages, low pay and retention problems, high call volumes, and the closure of 19 hospitals since 2003. The crisis has produced extreme failures, including a 14-year-old stroke patient waiting more than an hour without an ambulance, and FDNY officials acknowledge current response times are unacceptable.
It seems like they've identified the problem, but not the solution.
EMS pay starts at $44k per year, their union has had a lapsed contract since 2022. The city's hesitant to renegotiate because they don't want to set a precedent of agreeing to pay higher wages to city employees.

NYC Schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels grilled by NYT's Nikole Hannah-Jones over integration plan

New York City Schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels faced a public grilling by New York Times journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones at a school integration town hall Tuesday night over his lack of a detailed plan to address inequality in city public schools, more than 10 months into the new mayoral administration.
The Brooklyn-based civil rights writer recently published a follow-up essay about her decision to put her daughter in a racially segregated school, outlining how her daughter was having a hard time keeping up in the high school of her choice as a result, and renewed calls for a citywide school integration plan.
“The people who keep getting told they have to wait for the ‘right time’ are the people who need public schools the most,” Hannah-Jones said at the Washington Irving Campus near Union Square in Manhattan.
“You have to understand the discontent with this. It’s 10 months in,” she told Samuels. “When a timeline can’t be offered, you can understand why people will feel like that means you are just delaying.”
