New Pattern report outlines growing homelessness among families and schoolchildren in the Mid-Hudson

Over the past two years, civic leaders shared with Pattern for Progress their concern about a regional surge in homelessness and the rising demand for emergency temporary housing. Government and nonprofit leaders said they were particularly troubled by the large amount of first-time homelessness and the unusually high number of families with children in emergency placements. In addition to their obvious concerns for the wellbeing of adults and children who were displaced from their homes, officials also noted the growing public cost brought on by the need to shelter more people in hotels and motels.
