While Hochul and Mamdani waste billions of your tax money on radical experiments, New York families are being forced onto the streets. They ran out of money for our most vulnerable because their priorities are backwards. In Nassau, I've made our community safer by hiring more police. I cut taxes and helped do all this while expanding services for those most in need. When I am Governor, I'll restore sanity to New York and put our most vulnerable first.

A program exploded 6,700%, and City Hall buried the real cost. NYC’s CityFHEPS voucher program cost $25 million at launch. This year: $1.7 BILLION. But the city budgeted just $519 million, underbudgeting it by more than a billion dollars so the true number never hits the headlines. It’s growing 4% EVERY MONTH. Doubling every two years. Barreling toward $3.1 billion by 2030, about $26,000 per voucher, with costs outrunning the people it’s supposed to help. And now Albany wants to copy it, a quarter-BILLION dollars for its own statewide version. This is your money. New York needs a Comptroller who watches the books, not another rubber stamp.

We won our lawsuit against the Trump administration and stopped its attempt to condition billions of dollars in funding for fighting homelessness on advancing its political agenda. We will keep fighting illegal attempts to jeopardize the housing funds our communities rely on.

Someone who is homeless should have access to safe and effective shelters. So I have pledged that on day one I will audit and investigate every homeless shelter in New York, clear out the crime and drugs from the shelters, and ensure that these nonprofits provide the wrap-around services necessary to transition individuals to stable housing.

Someone who is severely mentally ill should get treatment. So I have put out a plan to build residential treatment centers around the state and launch an Office of Civil Commitment to provide the severely mentally ill with the help they need and put them on a path to stabilization and independent living.

Listen to what this woman in a homeless encampment has to say. “It’s not right. It’s not safe. Shouldn’t be this much homeless people in New York. New York is a very rich city.” She’s right. We spend $81,000 per homeless person in New York. Where is that money going? https://t.co/v6cSRoLbMt

The homelessness crisis in New York continues to grow, now expanding to the front steps of college students who are here to get an education.
