In New York, homelessness remains a critical issue that advocacy groups, including the Family Homelessness Coalition and Enterprise Community Partners, aim to address through voter registration initiatives. They are organizing drives within shelters to help homeless individuals register to vote, emphasizing safe and confidential methods. This is seen as a vital step towards empowering those with lived experiences of homelessness, especially in light of upcoming mayoral and local elections. Their approach is non-partisan, focusing solely on registration rather than influencing voting decisions.
