Each year 100,000 New Yorkers experience homelessness.

Each night, over 38,000 homeless individuals sleep in the New York City shelter system. This includes more than 16,000 children and 8,000 single adults. Thousands more sleep on city streets and in other public places.

Nearly 1-in-20 New York City residents have experienced homelessness.

There are over 1,000 soup kitchens & food pantries in NYC and 2,700 in NY State serving 2 million New Yorkers annually. They will serve 60 million meals this year to hungry men, women & children. Everyday they turn away over 2,500 people.

In the first six months of 2001, requests for help in soup kitchens and food pantries citywide rose by 71%. After September 11th, there was another 71% increase.
