New York A07118 proposes to limit shelter capacity in council districts to 15% of borough totals.

New York A07118 amends the administrative code to introduce limits on shelter capacity within council districts. The bill defines "capacity" as the number of shelter beds for homeless individuals and families. It mandates that each council district's shelter capacity cannot exceed 15% of the borough's total shelter capacity. The Department of Homeless Services is prohibited from renewing contracts if a district exceeds this limit. The changes will take effect six months after the bill becomes law.
