New York’s Staten Island — New York’s homeless population has more than doubled in recent years, and the majority of this increase can be attributed to the city’s migrant population.
The state’s homeless population has risen 113% from 74,178 in January 2022 to 158,019 in January 2024, according to a new report released by State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli on Wednesday, “New Yorkers in Need: Homelessness in New York State.”
