Former City Council Speaker Christine Quinn on Adams’ strategy to curb homelessness
As Mayor Eric Adams completes his first 100 days on the job, former City Council Speaker Christine Quinn joined Errol Louis on “Inside City Hall” Monday to weigh in on his controversial strategy to address the city’s homelessness crisis. Quinn now serves as the president and CEO of Win, the largest provider of family shelter and supportive housing in the city. Among other things, Quinn said that a real solution to the problem would entail a comprehensive and long-term plan that includes better resources for those experiencing homelessness.
