Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.In the early morning of Jan. 24, homeless outreach workers and volunteers will fan out across the city and into the subway system to count the number of New Yorkers who call the streets and subways home.
The number of homeless people living on the city’s streets, in the subways and in other public places is just a small fraction of the city’s overall homeless population. In 2022, the city estimated that 3,439 homeless people were residing in public spaces. “We are both capturing people who are in the station as well as people who are potentially sleeping on the train,” she said.
In 2021, at the height of the pandemic, the city estimated there were 2,376 homeless people living in public spaces. The street homeless population was lower that year, advocates said, because the city had rented hotels during the COVID-19 crisis as emergency housing was utilized to slow the spread of the virus. Advocates said some homeless people who previously rejected the city’s offer to put them in congregate shelters accepted hotel rooms instead.
