So this is not, you know, listen, I hope it keeps ongoing in that trajectory. But this is not something like the city has solved family homelessness by any stretch of the imagination,\u201d Jennifer Pringle, the project director for learners in temporary housing at the organization Advocates for Children, said.\r\n\r\nIt is the eleventh year in a row that more than 100,000 public school students across the five boroughs were homeless.\r\n\r\nOf those children, 50,700 spent time in a shelter; another 81,100 were doubled up \u2014 sharing someone else\u2019s housing after losing their own.
