D.A. Bragg, State Senator Hoylman-Sigal And Assemblymember Simone Applaud Passage Of “Support Act”, Creating Oversight And Accountability Mechanism After Hospital Discharge Click For More

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Jr.: “Each year, hundreds of New Yorkers are found unfit to stand trial and quickly returned to their communities without adequate supports to prevent the same thing from happening again and again. By signing the SUPPORT Act, Governor Hochul is helping ensure that New Yorkers don’t fall through the cracks of our mental healthcare safety net. I thank the Governor for taking this important step, and applaud our partners on this legislation - New York State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal and New York State Assemblymember Tony Simone - for their never-ceasing advocacy. I look forward to working with all of our legislative partners next year to (keep improving our mental health infrastructure to ensure a continuum of care and long-term stability for people living with serious mental illness.”

In Manhattan, major crime is down in nearly every category compared to last year. And so far this year Manhattan had ZERO homicides, a first since 2018!

Murders and shootings continue to decline to pre-pandemic levels. There is always more work to do, but along with our partners at the NYPD we are continuing our efforts to reduce gun violence and keep our borough safe.
