The NYPD checked on homeless people in the city from midnight Sunday until Monday at 2 p.m.

Officers made 917 encampment visits and had contacts with 130 persons, the NYPD said.

In those contacts, 127 people refused services and two accepted services when offered. One person was involuntarily removed as being a risk to themselves, the NYPD said.
