Each year, volunteers participate in HOPE to count homeless New Yorkers living on the streets. The recent report showed an increase to 4,140 individuals. Strikingly, data reveals 70% of homeless in Los Angeles are unsheltered, contrasting with only 5% in New York City. The homeless advocates stress the need for a strong permanent housing plan to address the issue effectively.
Efforts to help the homeless include providing meals and support to those on the streets. Coalition for the Homeless serves hundreds of meals nightly, alongside thousands who sleep unsheltered and 147,000 in the shelter system. Despite the influx of asylum seekers, advocates point out that the unsheltered demographic remains distinct.
