I’m proud that we have Intro 778A on the agenda today. You know, there are varying estimates on the number of street homeless New Yorkers— 4,000, 5,000, 6,000.Lincoln Restler · Council member · District 3327:49rec. 2
I’m proud to support and celebrate the passage of this legislation requiring greater transparency and accountability in our warming centers. For many New Yorkers, our seniors, families experiencing homelessness, and individuals living with disabilities, warming centers are not optional.Rita C.

How we count
Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 144 of 150 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
