NYC push to forcibly hospitalize mentally ill from streets spurs backlash
Quick Glance: What we know: NYC Mayor Bloomberg says city officials can hospitalize mentally ill homeless persons.
  • Adams stated that the city must do more to assist persons experiencing mental illness in public, particularly those with untreated psychotic diseases, while outlining his 11-point mental health agenda for the forthcoming legislative session.

  • According to Adams, officials already intervene and hospitalize some individuals who pose a risk to others.

  • Individuals in Adams' stated population require mental health treatments, but are unlikely to benefit from them owing to larger issues, according to Sarah Gillespie, an Urban Institute housing policy expert.

  • Housing can benefit persons with mental illnesses, according to experts.
