Efforts to engage with the homeless community in subway stations have faced mixed outcomes. Outreach teams, comprising city workers, nurses, and police officers, aim to connect with individuals in need.

Critics of the program assert that these interactions resemble harassment rather than genuine offers of assistance, further complicating the discourse.
