Mayor Eric Adams' administration is marking one year of a program they call the Partnership Assistance for Transit Homelessness.  

That’s the program where NYPD officers work alongside clinicians to remove New Yorkers living in the subway system and connect them with services like the shelters and mental health support.  

Brian Stettin is a senior advisor on severe mental illness for Mayor Adams office who helped develop this program. He talked with WNYC's Sean Carlson more about it.
