Q&A

Hudson requests written update on shelter capacity plan

New York City Council · Oct 21, 2026 · starts 0:56:23 · 1 min 6 sec

Hudson asks for a 30-day written update on the shelter capacity plan, nonprofit ownership, and barriers to safe haven projects; Dalton commits to an update on status but not the plan itself.

Crystal Hudson

And can you commit to providing the committee within 30 days a written update identifying the status of the shelter capacity plan, the future of the nonprofit ownership program, and any policy or budget barriers

Crystal Hudson

currently preventing new safe haven and drop-in center projects from advancing?

Erin Dalton

An update?

Erin Dalton

I think an update we could provide, for sure.

Erin Dalton

That was the question, right?

Erin Dalton

A written update, yes.

Erin Dalton

A written update on the status and all of these.

Erin Dalton

On the status.

Erin Dalton

Yep.

Erin Dalton

Yeah.

Erin Dalton

In 30 days.

Crystal Hudson

Yeah.

Erin Dalton

So from my perspective, just to make sure I can really agree to that.

Erin Dalton

Yeah.

Crystal Hudson

Well, if you say it's a go, then staff has got to do it.

Erin Dalton

I am not committing to a homelessness plan or any of those in the next 30 days, but I would be happy to commit to an update on where we are with all of it.

Crystal Hudson

Update on status.

Crystal Hudson

Yes.

Crystal Hudson

Okay.

Crystal Hudson

Thank you.

Frank Morano

Yeah, I also want to acknowledge Councilmember Juan and Councilmember Gutierrez who are here.

Frank Morano

And then I think Councilmember Juan was first up in the queue.
