Focusing on high-need New Yorkers, Figure 3 shows the distribution of zero, one, and two or more poor housing conditions (grouped for ease of interpretation) by housing hardship classification. High-need New Yorkers who experienced housing hardship were more likely to report these poor housing conditions than those with stable housing. Individuals with persistent housing hardship were the most likely to report two or more poor housing conditions (61%), compared with 56% of those with some hardship and 33% of those with stable housing. High-need New Yorkers experiencing housing hardship also faced poorer living conditions over 2021-2024.
