GMHC Expresses Concerns About the Mayoral Plan for Involuntary Hospitalization and Supports Pilot Program for People in Mental Health Crisis

New York, NY—GMHC has several concerns about the mayoral mental health plan for involuntary hospitalization of homeless individuals in distress. As an organization with decades of experience working with people living with and affected by HIV and AIDS who have mental health needs, as well as a need for stable and supportive housing, we recommend that the city instead create a pilot program that can help a smaller group of people in need.
