An overview of New York New Approach To The Homeless
New York has been working to fight homelessness in recent years. The state has spent $500 million on housing aid, job assistance and other services since 2012. New York will now spend another $2 billion over the next three years on these programs as part of its new plan to combat homelessness.
The plan covers the next three years

The plan includes housing aid, job assistance, tax breaks and other services. These services will help people get off the streets and into homes. A comprehensive approach to fighting homelessness is the best way to ensure that those who are homeless have an opportunity for a better future.
New York will spend $2.6 billion on homelessness programs over the next three years.
That’s a lot of money. It’s more than the entire budget for New York State’s Department of Health, which will spend $2.5 billion over the next three years; it’s more than the entire budget for the Department of Environmental Conservation, which will spend $3.1 billion; and it’s even more than all three combined!
The New York Legislature has allocated $2.6 billion over three years for homeless services—that’s about twice as much as was spent on homelessness last year alone!
New York has the largest shelter system in the country.
New York has the largest shelter system in the country. It’s also home to over 100 shelters and over 1,000 homeless individuals living on the streets or in abandoned buildings. The city’s Department of Homeless Services provides services for more than 52,000 people each year—more than any other city in America!
The state chapter of Swords to Plowshares handles an additional 10,000 homeless families each year through its coordinated entry program (CEP), which helps them find permanent housing and employment opportunities within six months at a time when most aid organizations can only offer temporary assistance.
The number of homeless children has increased by 31% over the past few years.
The number of homeless children has increased by 31% over the past few years. This is a national problem, but it’s also a New York City problem.
According to an article on NPR, “The number of homeless children in America has increased by more than 30% since 2010.” That’s right: more than one million kids are currently without a home in this country. That’s one out every three kids! And that figure doesn’t even include foster families or those living with relatives who don’t have their own place yet (some do).
Since 2013, homelessness has increased by 16% in NYC.
Since 2013, homelessness has increased by 16% in NYC. The number of homeless people has risen from 75,000 to nearly 80,000. The number of homeless families has increased by 24%, while the number of single adults rose only 3%.
The rise in homelessness is especially alarming given that there was a decrease in the size of New York City’s shelter population between 2001 and 2010; however since then it has climbed back up again to levels not seen since before Hurricane Sandy hit New York City two years ago.
The state is taking a comprehensive approach to fighting homelessness!
The New York State Department of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) has announced a comprehensive plan to end homelessness in the state.
The plan, which will cover the next three years, includes housing aid for people who need it most; job assistance for those looking for work; tax breaks for landlords who rent their properties to low-income tenants; mental health services and treatment programs that help those suffering from mental illness or substance abuse problems get back on their feet again. It also includes other services like substance abuse prevention programs that can prevent people from falling into homelessness in the first place.
New York has taken a comprehensive approach to fighting homelessness. The plan will help people who are homeless and struggling get back on their feet by providing them with housing, job training, tax breaks and other services
