“Just come by, drop off a toy, and we’ll do the rest,”

On August 28, 2009, there were over 37,000 people--including over 9,000 families and over 16,000 children--in New York City shelters

At the heart of our city's epidemic of homelessness is a shortage of affordable housing and living-wage jobs.

City-wide, the average asking rental price has risen to about $2,700 a month

New York City started the 90's with some 925,000 units of low-cost ($500 or less per month) housing; it ended the decade with less than half that number

One out of three New York households pays more than 30 percent of its income for rent, the current Federal measure of housing affordability. One out of four pays more than fifty percent

The "housing wage" for New York metro area (the minimal wage a family needs to afford a two bedroom at a fair market rate) is $25.35 an hour.4 The current minimum wage in New York is $7.15 per hour
