NYC Street Homelessness Surges | New York City News
Description
New York City’s street homelessness hits a 10-year high as nearly 5,000 people slept outdoors this year — up 11% from last year — despite over 82,000 still in shelters thanks to the right-to-shelter law. The HOPE count, delayed by winter cold, found the spike concentrated in Brooklyn and Manhattan, while subway sleeping hit a pandemic low. The city’s Safe Havens program helped over 300 unsheltered residents into permanent housing this year, and new flexible shelter beds — some without curfews — are being rolled out as encampments are cleared under the Department of Homeless Services.
