Welcome to our new quarterly newsletter.
Greetings!
Each quarter will feature the latest new reports and resources from our policy team grounded in the field-based practice of our colleagues who work daily to provide services to families experiencing homelessness—from case management and employment training to early childhood education and afterschool/recreation. As often as possible, we will amplify the voices of the parents, children, and youth whose lived experience informs all of our work.

We are especially interested in continuing the two-way communication that has always been at the heart of our work and will debut a What’s Happening In Our Network feature to highlight the innovative and replicable work that you are doing not only in NYC but across the country. Please email us at INFO@ICPHusa.org with your ideas. We look forward to hearing from you.

Daily DHS Census Report: Weekly Graphs
After a two-year decline, the number of families with children in NYC​'s DHS shelters stabilized this past summer. It is now uncertain what the future holds, and whether this is a lasting decrease, or just a temporary one. In this new year with a new mayoral administration, keep up with the developments at ICPHusa.org, in real time, where we will post a weekly updated graph depicting the number of families with children in NYC​'s DHS shelters. See the report from January 24 below.
New Policy Resources
The policy team’s latest snapshot examines the experience of parents at HFH shelters whose children returned to in-person schooling in the fall of 2022 after a year+ of remote or blended learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Returning to school buildings brought benefits to learning, but also created anxieties around COVID-19 infection and challenges around commuting from shelter to school.
