ICPH’s new policy brief, Coverage of the Crisis: News Coverage of Family Homelessness in NYC, examines how family homelessness is represented in local news coverage—and what gets left out.



The analysis found that across three major NYC daily news outlets, only 62 articles referenced family homelessness during the first half of 2025, and just 12 focused on the issue. While coverage often connected family homelessness to shelter, safety, immigration, housing supply, and affordability, it rarely linked the crisis to major drivers and supports such as domestic violence, overcrowding, rental assistance, public benefits, or childcare.
