Requiring information on the number of NYCHA residents entering temporary shelter.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring information on the number of New York city housing authority residents entering temporary shelter

This bill would require the Department of Homeless Services (DHS) to Council and post on its website an annual report regarding the number of individuals and families entering a DHS shelter or an HRA domestic violence shelter whose last known address was a New York City Housing Authority building. The bill would also require the report to disaggregate the data by the month the individual or family entered shelter, whether the entrant is a single adult, adult family or family with children, whether the individual or family is entering a temporary shelter or an HRA domestic violence shelter, and the reason the individual or family is entering shelter, including but not limited to eviction, overcrowding or domestic violence.
