New York City housing and education advocates were joined by students and parents who marched in Sunset Park on Thursday in response to recent data which indicated that for the seventh consecutive year, over 100,000 NYC public school students experienced some form of homelessness.
Data from both the activist group Advocates for Children of New York (AFC), as well as the Department of Education’s (DOE) own recently released figures, indicate that approximately 104,000 NYC Public School students don’t have permanent homes.
