We announced our subway safety Plan to help connect New Yorkers in need with services and help and to make sure our subways were safe for all who relied on them. Over the last three years, the progress we have made is remarkable. Since the launch, more than 8,600 New Yorkers in need of housing have been connected to shelter with over 1000 formerly homeless new Yorkers who once lived in our subways. Now they're in permanent housing. And when you add in our street level efforts, that number grows to over 3,500 New Yorkers. People who were once living on our streets or in the subways who have now been placed in permanent housing. (08:16–08:32)
