Homelessness among families with children is at a record high — and the de Blasio administration has begun prepping for an even greater surge this summer.

The number of families with kids in shelters reached an average of 12,338 a night in May — up from the previous average high of 12,281 in December of 2014, according to latest stats from the city’s Department of Homeless Services.
