NYC Homeless Staying In Shelters Longer | The Daily Caller:

"Homeless persons in New York City on average stayed nearly 100 days longer in shelters in 2017 than four years ago, according to an upcoming report from the Manhattan Institute.
Under Mayor Bill de Blasio, the average adult homeless person stayed in the shelter for 383 days in 2017 compared to the 293-day average stay in 2013.
“The more comfortable an adult or a family feels in a temporary housing situation, the weaker the motivation could become to move back into the community,” Stephen Eide, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, told the New York Post, which first reported on Manhattan Institute’s study expected to be released this week."
