On this World Homeless Day, we share these staggering statistics not to despair you, but because they demonstrate that with effective policy from our City and State leadership, and by implementing solutions proven to work, homelessness can be solved. But when there is effectively no affordable housing available, when support systems for those with mental illness are inadaquate, and when systemic inequities continue to impact people of color, mass homelessness is inevitable. With the NYC mayoral election less than a month away, we urge you to learn more about how NYC can address mass homelessness by reading and endorsing our Mayoral Recommendations plan, found in our bio. #WorldHomelessDay (fb)
