Op-Ed | Making New York City more family friendly, more affordable, and safer | amNewYork

Having a child should be the greatest day of a New Yorkers' life; it was for me. On that day, you should not have to worry about where you're going to take your baby once you leave the hospital. You should not have to worry about whether your child will grow up on the verge of homelessness or in a home. In 2024 alone, over 2,000 babies were born in New York City shelters that's 2,000 too many.

Opinion: Preventing Youth Homelessness Before It Starts

"Through creative conversations, we're able to work with youth to figure out solutions for their most immediate needs and help resolve their housing crisis as quickly as possible-so they never have to enter the homelessness system in the first place." In 2022, I found myself where no parent wants to be-without a safe place to live with my two young children, an infant and a 3-year-old. Circumstances led me to the city's entry point into the homelessness system, Prevention Assistance and Temporary Housing Office (PATH).

Explainer: What is the tenant-in-situ programme, and why are councils running out of funds?

Councils across the country have been running out of funding for the tenant-in-situ scheme, which is designed to keep tenants who are at risk of eviction in their homes. Introduced by the Government in March 2023 as the eviction ban was lifted, the tenant-in-situ scheme enables local authorities and the Housing Agency to buy rental properties where the owner wants to sell up. The tenant then pays rent to either the council or the Housing Agency.
