Officials say the goal is to address root causes of crime, reduce jail populations, and create safer communities.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"806\" data-end=\"1157\">\u201cThe Council fought hard to secure over $50 million for vital mental health care initiatives and safety programs our neighborhoods have needed for far too long,\u201d said Council Speaker Adrienne Adams. \u201cThese investments will help address mental health challenges, responsibly bring down the jail population, and, ultimately, close Rikers permanently.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1159\" data-end=\"1196\"><strong data-start=\"1159\" data-end=\"1194\">Momentum Builds to Close Rikers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1198\" data-end=\"1434\">Rikers Island has come to symbolize decades of systemic neglect. So far in 2025, nine people have died while in custody. In May, a federal judge placed the jail under receivership, citing \u201congoing violations of constitutional rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1436\" data-end=\"1715\">The crisis deepened in June when two inmates died within 78 minutes of each other, sparking renewed outrage. Council members argue that Rikers has effectively turned into an unofficial mental health institution, with more than half its population diagnosed with mental illness.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1717\" data-end=\"1968\">\u201cFor years, the city\u2019s inability to address the mental health crisis \u2014 and its refusal to embrace proven solutions \u2014 has allowed Rikers to operate as a default mental health facility,\u201d Speaker Adams said. \u201cThe administration must act without delay.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1970\" data-end=\"2033\"><strong data-start=\"1970\" data-end=\"2031\">Mental Health Initiatives Viewed as Cornerstone of Reform<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2035\" data-end=\"2219\">The budget allocation will support crisis intervention teams, mental health drop-in centers, and anti-recidivism programs to divert people from incarceration into treatment and care.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2221\" data-end=\"2463\">\u201cReal rehabilitation means giving the city the resources to provide life-saving services, lower repeat offenses, and expand supportive housing for those who need it most,\u201d said Council Member Linda Lee, Chair of the Mental Health Committee.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2465\" data-end=\"2696\">Mayor Adams\u2019 office has defended the administration\u2019s approach, touting the fiscal plan as the \u201cBest Budget Ever\u201d and highlighting investments in shelters, addiction treatment, psychiatric services, and youth violence prevention.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2698\" data-end=\"2813\">Despite the praise, Council leaders warn that time is short \u2014 and that funding must be followed by urgent action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>City Council leaders and mental health advocates gathered Monday on the steps of City Hall to celebrate a $50 million commitment to public safety and mental health programs \u2014 while pressing Mayor Eric Adams to move swiftly on implementation and to close Rikers Island once and for all.
