CURRENT STATE OF HOMELESSNESS CURRENT STATE OF HOMELESSNESS Number of Homeless People in NYC Shelters Each Night • One out of every nine students in NYC public schools in SY 2013–14 had experienced homelessness within the past four school years. • One out of four homeless students had English Language Learning needs in SY 2013–14, compared to one in seven housed students. • Over half (51%) of all homeless students in New York City were Hispanic in SY 2013–14.
Homeless Students in New York City Data provided reviews the following: •Growth in number of students experiencing homelessness. •Duration of housing instability. •Student demographics. •The frequency of school transfers. •The number of students who were left back and repeated a grade.
Student Homelessness Is Rapidly Growing
• Thirty-eight percent of homeless students were chronically absent (missed more than 20 days of school) in SY 2013–14, compared to 22% of housed students.
Growth of Homelessness Among Students in New York City Public Schools
• Of all students scheduled to graduate in SY 2013–14, 20% of homeless students dropped out compared to 9% of their housed peers. Homeless students include all students who experienced homelessness during high school.
SY 2010–11 to 2013–14
• On all educational indicators, homeless students achieved worse outcomes than housed students, including housed students eligible for free lunch.
Rising family homelessness impacts virtually every school district across the city.Over 84,000 students attending New York City Public Schools were homeless in School Year. (SY) 2013–14, and one out of every nine students experienced homelessness at some point between SY 2010–11 and SY 2013–14

• In SY 2013–14, over 84,000 New York City public school students were homeless and more than 117,000 had been homeless at some point during the last four years. This represents one out of every nine students (11%) in the New York City Public Schools.
48,773
29,848
• From SY 2010–11 to SY 2013–14, the number of homeless students rose by close to 17,000, a 25% increase. -
Number of Homeless Children in NYC Shelters Each Night • The total number of homeless children attending school in a single New York City school district in SY 2013–14 ranged from 630 in District 26 (Queens) to over 8,500 in District 10 (Bronx). • The percent of the student body that was homeless by district ranged from a low of 2% in District 26 to a high of 18% in the Bronx’s District 9. No district had a student homelessness rate of less than 2% in SY 2013–14.
• The increase in student homelessness was driven primarily by the number of students living doubled up with another family due to loss of housing or economic hardship. This group of homeless students grew by almost two-thirds (63%) in just four years. The number of sheltered students grew by only 5% during the same time period. The growth in sheltered students was slightly higher than the citywide growth in the number of shelter units for fami lies with children (3.9%).
27,027
28,497
• While the average rate of homelessness among students in New York City was 8% in SY 2013–14, in some schools up to 46% of students were homeless. • In eight schools, homeless students comprised at least 40% of the student body in SY 2013–14. • In three schools, students who had been homeless at some point between SY 2010–11 and 2013–14 comprised at least 50 percent of the student body.

SITE SELECTION This portion of research explored site selection by neighborhood. First gathering data to create a map of existing shelters in Brooklyn, NY, then on the neighborhood scale, I assesed the potential host neighborhoods for availability of resources. Moving into the basic building schematic that considers NIMBY reactions and making the building economically self sufficient.

THESIS STUDY The UNHoused Brooklyn, NY Critic: Lance Brown SP ‘16
LGBTQ Homeless Youth Transitional Center Motthall, Bronx, NY Critic: Fabian Llonch SP ‘16
The premise of this semester-long project was based on Biomimesis in architecture. Early studies of plants for common principles and strategies of nature led to the exploration of the building as an operational system. My approach was to break down the operation of the building into served and service spaces. Beyond helping to programmatically organize the building, this helped in the true function of the building. With the given program of labs and offices, I challenged the existence of the public spheres of this community/science center that capture views of all aspects of how the building operates.

Collaboration: Christina Bien-Aimé Critic: Ali Höcek SP ‘15 Gallery/ Exhibition driver- use gallery as connector through the different programs
The strategy of this new gallery uses the exhibition/ gallery to explore programmatic relationships. The artwork, that would rotate through this new gallery, is the essential tool for dissolving the program boundaries. The display bleeds into every space to unite the Gallery as one large exhibition of Hispanic artwork. The folded enclosure starts at the peak of 156th Street and drapes downward to create interior threshold moments. Each fold is with respect to site regulating lines, site conditions and interior spacial moments. Calculated and custom designed angular bricks came as result of the desire to create a monumental building that still speaks to the existing site.
