Today, @NYCCouncil is holding a hearing on the 30/60-day shelter rules. Win is calling on @NYCMayor to end these dangerous and inhumane policies that destabilize families. These policies are unconscionable, unacceptable, and only worsen our city's homelessness crisis.
146,000 homeless students in NYC schools is a staggering new record. Our CEO @chriscquinn calls it a 'condemnation of our city.' She’s right—this crisis demands immediate action, starting with ending the cruel 60-day shelter stay limit. Anything less is a failure of NYC's values.
