New data show a continued trend of disparity between rich and poor.

Please join in our campaign to urge the Bloomberg administration to help the 2,600 needy families whose housing vouchers were revoked by the City six months ago.
Rosa Bracero, a homeless teen who almost didn't graduate because of misguided City policies, is now about to receive her diploma.
Back in December, Mayor Bloomberg broke a promise to provide housing vouchers to 2,600 needy families. Six months later, the Mayor still hasn’t helped these families.
In a major victory for homeless New Yorkers, New York State Legislators reached an agreement with the Mayor and Governor to eliminate rules forcing homeless families to pay “rent” for shelter, and instead to create a new savings plan.
The proposed new rule would prohibit the city from referring homeless single adults to illegally converted boarding houses, also known as 3/4 houses.
