Shelters and homelessnessCode Blue weather emergency notice is issued when the temperature drops to 32 degrees Fahrenheit or less between 4 PM and 8 AM, which we’ve had a lot of unfortunately. No one experiencing homelessness who seeks shelter during a Code Blue in New York City can be denied.Lynn C. SchulmanChair · Committee on Health · Mar 19, 2026Open the meeting at 30:13

    I’m just— I just want to say to the chair is that the reason that I am emphasizing it is that the commissioner mentioned that you’re going to be spending money advertising, doing things in a variety of publications.Simcha FelderMember · Committee on Health · Mar 5, 2026Open the meeting at 1:16:48

Five of eight members we can compare: 0.6 to 4.9 minutes a meeting (preliminary)

Preliminary: at least 77% of members’ talk time is identified, under the 80% for a full comparison. All five members we compare could rank first; the data can’t order them. The other three speak too little in a voice we can check.
