from "Housing First
A Proven Approach to Dramatically Reduce Street Homelessness" released by the #NYC #Comptroller's Office:

"The Comptroller’s Office conducted an audit of DHS’ role in these sweeps. The audit found that the sweeps failed to meet the goals of the task force:

"Only 119 (5%) of the 2,308 individuals engaged during sweeps accepted temporary shelter and, of these, 29 left shelter on the very same day they entered.

"Only 90 individuals (3.9%) stayed in shelter for more than one day. Of those 90, 59 individuals (65%), stayed for less than 6 days and 70 individuals (78%), had departed shelter by January 23, 2023.

"As of January 23, 2023, only 43 individuals (2%) remained in shelter.

"Only 3 people had entered permanent housing (0.1% of the 2,308 individuals engaged in the sweeps; 2.5% of those who accepted shelter) as of January 23, 2023.

"A survey of 99 homeless encampment sites which had been cleared by the sweeps by auditors from the NYC Comptroller’s Office found that 31% had been rebuilt within one year."
