s t a t e o f h o m e l e s s n e s s Tonight, more than 39,000 people– including 16,000 children – will sleep in emergency shelters. Last year, over 120,000 different New Yorkers slept in shelters at some point – 45 percent more than six years ago.

Accelerating job losses, a widening housing affordability gap and flawed City policies are largely responsible. Permanent housing programs are a proven, cost-effective way to stem family homelessness. Emergency shelter costs $38,000 per year per family – half of which is paid by the City and State. However, targeting Federal housing aid to homeless families will reduce the family shelter population and save taxpayer dollars – a high priority given the fiscal crisis. The Coalition will continue to partner with the New York City Congressional delegation to work toward this end. Take action and sign up today to become an Advocate at www.coalitionforthehomeless.org
