民主的灯塔，庇护城市，大纽约，都不能照顾市内上学的孩子，就像芝加哥的黑哥们再怎么自相残杀，黑名贵的人也不会多看一眼。

1 in 8 N.Y.C. Public School Students Was Homeless Last Year

At least 146,000 public school students in New York City, about one in eight, did not have permanent housing at some point during the past school year, a record number and a 23 percent increase from the year before, according to Advocates for Children of New York. The group released the data, gathered by the New York State Education Department, on Monday.

Almost all of those students were living either in shelters across the city or “doubled up” temporarily with friends or family, according to the group, which focuses on supporting children from low-income families.

In recent years, the city’s shelter system has been strained by an influx of migrants who arrived after crossing the southern border. Over 210,000 migrants have come to the city since 2022. Most were from Latin America, and others came from Africa and Asia.

But Ms. Quinn said that was just one factor. “They’re going to write this off as a migrant problem, and it’s not,” she said, referring to city officials. She added, “To just write it off really downplays the situation in a way that is both incorrect and dangerous.”

The number of homeless students in New York City has topped 100,000 for nine straight years, according to state Education Department data. The figure has remained high amid a continuing housing crisis, with few apartments available and affordable options hard to find.
