Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Mayor’s Office of Community Mental Health (OCMH) Executive Director Eva Wong released the city’s first-ever Involuntary Transports Dashboard, offering the public unprecedented access to data on involuntary transports for hospital evaluation of individuals appearing to be mentally ill and behaving in a manner likely to result in serious harm to themselves or others. The new dashboard reflects the Adams administration’s commitment to transparency on involuntary transports, providing data that no previous administration has ever shared before.
Most Pro-Housing Administration in City History: Mayor Adams Celebrates City Planning Commission’s Approval of Jamaica Neighborhood Plan to Create 12,000 New Homes, 7,000 New Jobs
Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Department of City Planning (DCP) Director and City Planning Commission (CPC) Chair Dan Garodnick today celebrated the CPC’s vote in favor of the Jamaica Neighborhood Plan, a bold vision to bring thousands of homes and jobs as well as hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure and other investments to Jamaica, Queens. The transformative plan would update the area’s zoning code to create over 12,000 new homes across 230 blocks of this transit-accessible neighborhood.
Mayor Adams Announces Opening of 13 New Clubhouses to Support New Yorkers Living With Serious Mental Illness
Mayor Eric Adams announced the opening of 13 clubhouses across the five boroughs to engage adults living with severe mental illness, thanks to a $30 million investment of city and state dollars. In 2023, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) began the process to expand the clubhouse model — for the first time in nearly 30 years — through a city-state investment that doubled previous funding. Of the 13 newly contracted clubhouses, there are seven new sites opening, and six are being granted contracts to continue operations. The new clubhouses will expand opportunities for people with serious mental illness to participate in the unique community-driven environment that clubhouses offer. The additional clubhouses will more than double enrollment to 6,600 members by 2027, allowing the city to expand capacity, especially in high-need neighborhoods.
