The DHS Nightly Shelter Population Increased Sharply

NYC Dept. of Homeless Services Nightly Shelter Population

These totals include SafeHaven shelters, overnight drop-in centers, veterans shelters, faith-based shelters and "criminal justice" shelters housing people who have left jails and prisons as well as shelters for single adults, families with children and adult families. Some daily totals are missing because DHS does not report certain shelter types every day. Data current as of 12/04/2023.
