Number of deaths among persons experiencing homelessness in New York City between 2005 and 2022, by reporting agency
The figures were given by the following reporting agencies:
"The Department of Social Services/Department of Homeless Services (DHS) endeavors to prevent homelessness, offer temporary emergency shelter, and assist individuals and families in transitioning to permanent and supportive housing.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) is tasked with investigating deaths in New York City that are potentially suspicious, unusual, violent, or criminal, including cases where the deceased's homelessness status is uncertain, and it utilizes evidence from the scene of death.
The NYC Department of Social Services/Human Resources Administration (HRA) aids New Yorkers in need. Deaths reported by HRA are not cross-referenced with death certificates, and this report excludes any identifiable information. Therefore, findings from these two categories of deaths are reported separately."
