Description
There is a legal right to shelter in New York City, but there are many misconceptions about the role that shelter plays in helping families and individuals experiencing homelessness. HSU’s first briefing will explore the role and importance of shelter programs, what work within a shelter entails, and the fiscal challenges impacting non-profit organizations across the entire homeless services sector.
