This report presents findings from a 2010 public opinion poll on family homelessness in New York City. Among its results, the study finds that nearly three-fourths of New Yorkers view unemployment and poverty as the primary causes of family homelessness. Two-thirds of those surveyed have noticed an increase in homelessness over the past six months. Over 80% of those surveyed had thought about the issue over the past month. In total, 23% of New Yorkers were worried that they or their families might be at risk of homelessness.
