City to Focus on Prevention, Rehousing to Tackle Homelessness in NYC

New York City is taking on the issue of homelessness with a new approach that aims to not only find permanent homes for those living in shelters, but also prevent New Yorkers from losing their homes in the first place.

Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Monday that as a result of a 90-day review of homeless services, the city has come up with a widespread plan which will make sure services are given efficiently and effectively with a focus on prevention and rehousing.
