7 On Your Side Investigates has been tracking a 94% increase in car thefts. So far this year, 2,454 cars have been reported stolen in New York City.
The answer, according to them, isn't just temporary shelters, but finding permanent homes and helping people before they become homeless in the first place. "We need to go further than just providing people emergency shelter and help people avoid homelessness in the first place and move people out of shelters much more quickly with investments in permanent housing," Policy Director Jacquelyn Simone said.

We, along with the prior owner and manager, have been working with our city partners to address it. We are also reminding residents with signage to never let someone in the building that they don't know, and never prop doors open.
