Join us for a discussion on the coordination and implementation of street outreach
services in NYC. To date, a record number of resources have been invested into
outreach services at both the city and state level that involve several
different agencies coordinating the work. Yet, according to the 2023 HOPE
Count, there was an 18% increase in the number of people living unsheltered in
the city since 2022. In this discussion we will explore the landscape of street
outreach services offered in NYC and identify avenues to address the unique
needs of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness more effectively.
The first panel will focus on painting a picture of the services currently in place
to address street homelessness to identify what is missing from those efforts
and where there are gaps in care. The second panel will discuss the expanded
directive for involuntary removals of people living on the street, the impacts
of these interventions, and an exploration of the supports that are and, more
importantly, should be available once someone is transported to a hospital.
