Retro Report

In 1987, Joyce Brown, also known as Billie Boggs, was forcibly hospitalized under a new policy in New York City. She objected, emerging as an advocate for people experiencing homelessness. In a new video, we explore the problems of homelessness and mental health care in New York City, and how Mayor Eric Adams’s approach to these issues has roots in Joyce Brown's story. https://lnkd.in/eVN2PvmE
