New Spotlight Posts Examine the Changing Picture of Homelessness Among NYC’s Elementary Students
The number of homeless elementary students in NYC has increased dramatically in recent years. Two new Spotlight posts explore this trend in more detail. The first post examines how the type of homelessness students experience has changed over time—finding notable increases in the proportion of homeless students who are living doubled-up with friends or family. The second post looks at which elementary schools are serving the highest concentrations of homeless students. We found that the number of schools serving a very high proportion of homeless youngsters doubled between 2013 and 2018 (see the blue bars in the graph below).
How Has the Number of Elementary Schools Serving Different Concentrations of Homeless Students Changed Over Time?

The post also features maps that display the location of elementary schools serving the highest and lowest proportions of homeless students across the City (and how these changed between the two points in time).
