About this episode
A Columbia University report finds that 1 in 4 children in New York City live in poverty. Plus, the New York City Council is joining a class-action lawsuit that would force Mayor Eric Adams to implement measures designed to give more low-income New Yorkers access to housing vouchers. Finally, New York City’s public hospitals serve about 50,000 homeless patients each year but after care isn’t always available. But, are medical respite centers a solution? WNYC reporter Caroline Lewis visits a respite center in Harlem.
