"Since its formation, SHAP has made considerable progress in helping those experiencing homelessness connect with vital services. In its first year, SHAP successfully helped one out of three people experiencing homelessness voluntarily leave the streets. Now, in its second year, approximately one out of two people - 223 individuals experiencing homelessness out of 451 - that have interacted with SHAP have voluntarily left the streets."
"Thanks to the Street Homelessness Advocacy Project, everyday New Yorkers are answering the call to volunteer and lend a helping hand to their neighbors in need, and their good work is paying off, with nearly 50% of homeless individuals connecting with SHAP choosing to voluntarily come off our streets," said Mayor Eric Adams.
"Solving our homelessness crisis requires each and every one of us to follow in the footsteps of SHAP volunteers by treating those experiencing homelessness with dignity and humanity. Thank you to all the volunteers, partner organizations, and to Norman Siegel for leading the way and working so no one is forced to sleep on the streets of our city."
