Dr. Drew Pinksy called New York City’s homeless-export program “an abject failure” and an “anathema” following a Sunday Post report on the controversial Special One-Time Assistance initiative.

“It’s a sad story,” Pinsky said in a segment on Fox New’s “The Ingraham Angle.” 

“The SOTA story as we call it . . . it makes very appealing sense that we are going to give you a year of rent and let you go wherever you want.”

Reiterating his long-held belief that homelessness is tied to mental health, not housing, Pinsky said “if housing were the issue this would be a thriving intervention, and it’s an abject failure.”

The TV doc’s declaration comes after The Post revealed the city has sent 5,074 homeless families –12,482 individuals — living in shelters to 373 cities in 32 states plus Puerto Rico with a full year of rent in their pockets as part of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s program launched in August 2017.

The program cost the city $89 million in rent in two years, and has been wrought with problems — including claims from recipients that it abandoned them in slums in other municipalities, then ignored their pleas for help.

In a second segment on the network last last week, Pinsky called the program an “anathema to the problem.”

“The problem is not that you need housing. It’s not that you need a period of time to get your act together. You need mental health services, and if you do not provide the treatment and the vocational rehab, you are committing people to chronic difficulties,” he said.
