Show Notes
New York Citys annual HOPE count, aimed at estimating the homeless population, took place this week, marking the first without freezing temperatures. Over 1,300 volunteers joined 240 outreach workers, covering 1,491 unique spots. The count comes as the city grapples with over 85,000 unhoused individuals, with last years tally showing 4,504 living unsheltered. The event, which began in 2005, is a shift from traditional methods, focusing on outreach and social services. Early results suggest an increase in homelessness among older workers. The count aims to provide better data for planning and change perceptions of homelessness.
