signed two new bills Tuesday providing support and resources to survivors of domestic and gender-based violence in New York City.
The legislation will establish a housing stability program for survivors and create an online services portal and guide. Adams said domestic violence is a public safety issue that has a wide impact and contributes to homelessness. "The options are narrow, particularly when you are dealing with the economics involved and if you have children.

The bill signing comes days before the city kicks off its annual 16 day of activism against gender-based violence campaign on Friday.
