Key Facts
- Mayor Adams this week sounded the alarm over the city’s mental health crisis and called for action — but over the past few years, the city has reduced a number of key services and, more recently, cut funding from a mental health emergency response program.
- Adams has repeatedly blamed a rash of violent crimes in the subways on mental health issues.
- To address the crisis, he has saturated streets and subways with police officers, and on Tuesday, he issued a new directive to involuntarily place more people with severe, untreated mental illnesses.
