NEW YORK CITY (WABC) — On this edition of Tiempo, we discuss the growing homelessness crisis and its disproportionate impact on the Latino community in New York City.
Hispanic people represent about 32% of heads of household in the shelter system, according to the New York State Comptroller’s Office.
Project Renewal is helping Latinos transition from shelters to stable housing to end the cycle of homelessness.
The nonprofit was founded in 1967 as a de-toxification program and has evolved into a comprehensive social services agency. Project Renewal serves over 10,000 New Yorkers annually.
Their mission is to empower individuals and families through three primary pillars: health, homes and employment.
