Last week, Governor Kathy Hochul endorsed Mayor Eric Adams’ legal challenge to suspend the decades-old right to shelter rule. Many homeless advocates claim if the mayor is successful, New York City could see more homeless and a major uptick in tent encampments. Tonight, we revisit an interview with activist Shams DaBaron who is all too familiar with the struggles by New Yorkers who experience homelessness, having personally navigated the city’s shelter system throughout his life. As part of our Chasing The Dream initiative, he shares his firsthand account of life on the streets and discusses the work he is doing directly with city officials to fix the shelter system.
