NEW YORK -- Mayor Eric Adams' plan to address mental health in the city is eliciting strong reactions from homeless advocates.

The mayor is now directing first responders and outreach workers to transport people experiencing a mental health crisis to a hospital if they are a danger to themselves or unable to meet their basic needs. Adams insists state law gives him this authority.

"We believe this is the first time that a mayoral administration has given this direction on the basic needs standard and official guidance," Adams said Tuesday.
