“It’s time to start doing.” Win CEO @chriscquinn joined @cherylwillsny1 on @ny1 to discuss the city’s response to the migrant crisis and Win’s first-of-its-kind pilot program with @NYCWorkforce1, which brings career readiness services directly to our shelters.

"The face of homelessness in NYC is often a 5-year-old child with a working mother," @chriscquinn tells @NiaAClark on @NY1. From Jan to Sep 2023, 25,000-34,000 children slept in NYC shelters—60% more than last year. Childhood homelessness isn't just a statistic; it's a crisis.
Win applauds @NYCComptroller for shining a light on the crisis by launching a new tool to track NYC’s shelter population.

Over 30,000 children slept in a shelter each month last year. Our Government is unequivocally failing its youngest citizens. This humanitarian crisis demands commonsense solutions:
✅Implement the CityFHEPS laws
✅Expand voucher access
✅Streamline the voucher process
Over 70% of people in shelter are in families with children. As NYC's homelessness crisis balloons, we need policy solutions that address the needs tens of thousands of children who sleep in shelter, every single night. https://gothamist.com/news/30k-children-lived-in-nyc-homeless-shelters-every-month-last-year-data-shows
