DHS-PB-2022-009: Encampments & Cleanups Procedure (August 12, 2022)
Replaces: Procedure 17-400

This procedure documents the strategy developed by the NYC Department of Homeless Services (DHS) and its partner City agencies to accomplish two goals:

(1) Assess and provide compassionate, resource-intensive outreach to help unsheltered people access social services such as temporary housing, financial assistance, or mental health and substance use assistance; and
(2) Clear temporary physical structures (such as encampments, tents, cars, cardboard boxes, etc.) in public spaces not meant for human habitation.
