    Annie Terrizzi, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Partnership to End Homelessness, testifies on the critical importance of homelessness prevention in New York City. She highlights the current homelessness crisis and argues for prioritizing prevention funding in the city's budget as a cost-effective and humanitarian solution.

    • NYC faces an unprecedented homelessness crisis with over 4,000 street homeless and 85,000 in shelters
    • Approximately 800,000 New Yorkers are in rental arrears, representing 90% of the city's homelessness narrative
    • Terrizzi urges the council to prioritize prevention funding, arguing it's more cost-effective than emergency shelter expansion
