Jessica Beltran's experience highlights a stark reality; unexpected issues like job loss or disasters can lead to homelessness, affecting many families in New York City.
According to Advocates for Children of New York, over 146,000 students faced homelessness in the last school year, marking a 23% increase, revealing an alarming trend in the city.
Christine Quinn of Win states, 'These numbers are staggering... they are, quite frankly, an indictment of all parts of our city that this many children are living in shelter.'
Beltran’s struggle illustrates how challenges like finding child care can derail single parents, leading to a cascading effect that often results in homelessness.
