In New York City, more people are facing
homelessness than at any time since the Great
Depression. Nearly 60,000 people were homeless in
November of 2015, and over the course of the entirety
of 2015 over 109,000 people made use of the
municipal shelter system, a number that has risen by
close to 90 percent in just 10 years.

3.  Further, there are thousands of additional
individuals living on the streets without
shelter.
Studies have shown that single adults who
are homeless experience higher rates of
mental illness and other serious health
conditions. For families, homelessness most
often stems from lack of affordable housing,
though issues like job loss and hazardous
housing conditions also stand out as factors.
