Report Finds Number of Homeless in New York Rising

A new report found more city residents have no place to call home.

The Coalition for the Homeless released its annual State of the Homeless report.

The group says Mayor Bill de Blasio's plan to move 5,000 families per year from shelters into stable housing may be having an effect and that the numbers are closer to leveling off.

Still, the group says 2014 was a bad year.

"We've reached, a new all-time record high for the number of New Yorkers who are homeless, in shelter each night.  That's 60,000 people every night, and that includes over 26,000 children," said Mary Brosnahan of Coalition for the Homeless.

The Coalition for the Homeless says children are the biggest victims, with 1 in 17 African-American children and 1 in 34 Latino children using the shelter system in Fiscal Year 2014.
