Description
New York City proudly has one of the most comprehensive homeless services safety nets in the nation, but even it has gaps. This briefing will explore successes and challenges of Department of Homeless Services (DHS) program areas, including Street Outreach and Safe Havens, Adult Shelters, and Families with Children Shelters, and how further investments in the homeless services safety net could have a significant impact on the homelessness crisis in New York City.
