Picturing an End to New York City’s Homelessness Crisis

Posted by & filed under Molly Knefel.

Hi Scoochers, Molly here. Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of writing about Picture the Homeless, a grassroots organization founded and led by homeless people. PTH does amazing work around housing, civil rights, and police brutality, and I got to speak with two leaders there, Kendall Jackman and Jean Rice, about the end of Bloomberg and their plans for the future.

This is my first piece at In These Times, also. Go have a look! And share if you’d like. Even though Bloomberg’s out and de Blasio is in, it’s still just as important– more important, arguably– to put pressure on him by keeping issues like the housing crisis in the spotlight.
