Inside the Budget No. 157: Has the Rise in Homelessness Prevention Spending Decreased the Shelter Population?
This report summarizes the effects of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's plan to reduce homelessness in the city. The Mayor expanded homelessness prevention efforts as an attempt to decrease the number of people in the city's homeless shelters. The savings on shelter costs will be used to further fund prevention. However, despite these efforts, the number of homeless families in the city has risen, and spending on both prevention and shelters have grown.
