NEW YORK - The city's latest weapon in the battle against homelessness is now up and running. It's a new command center in Lower Manhattan that uses police officers and outreach workers to help convince homeless New Yorkers to come inside.
"They come around and they ask us if we want to go to a shelter, ask us if we're ok and that's it. And then they leave," said one woman who has been on the street for six months.
The woman is a victim of domestic violence so NY1 is not using her name. She has been asked by outreach workers and the NYPD if she wants to come into shelter.
Other city workers have tried too.
"Sanitation took a picture of me, without my consent and later on I found out by speaking to a supervisor that he then forwards it to the outreach program. Then I said it's alright, but he didn't tell me that. It made me very upset," she said.
