The ongoing issue of family homelessness in New York City is urgent, with many families trapped in the shelter system for extended periods. Candidates for mayor in the upcoming primary are being invited to engage directly with affected communities to build concrete solutions together. The speaker emphasizes the importance of leadership that values direct attention to those struggling with issues, stressing that family homelessness is not only a crisis impacting the poor but increasingly affecting middle-class families as well. A call for action, not mere promises, is seen as crucial for change.
Some families live in the shelter system that is meant to be temporary for years. We need concrete responses and leadership, not just campaign slogans, regarding candidates' plans to address these issues.
However, for the thousands of families trapped in our shelter system, the only roads they can find are those leading them into further crises, bureaucracy, and uncertainty.
