Posted on April 24, 2017 New York City is in the midst of the worst homelessness crisis since the Great Depression, with 63,000 people – including nearly 24,000 children – sleeping in shelters each night. In order to match the unprecedented need, the City must employ every available affordable housing resource. To start, it should double the number of New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) apartments it allocates for homeless families each year. Sign our petition to urge Mayor de Blasio to increase the number of public housing placements for homeless families from 1,500 per year to 3,000 per year!
