Jews Amon g New Homeless' in New York

NEW YORK (JTA) — A
survey of 450 homeless New
York City residents — most
of them Jews — just re-
leased by the Federation of
Jewish Philanthropies
Homeless Project found that
these residents included
"shocking" examples of
well-educated heads of
families with young chil-
dren.
A project official said that
the federation expected to
find more cases of this kind

which the survey described
as the "new homeless."
David Liederman, federa-
tion executive director for
public affairs, who is coor-
dinator of the federation
program for the homeless,
said the survey was started
in March and covered data
through the end of last
month. He said that, of the
450 such homeless New
Yorkers studied, about 400
were Jews.
He said the federation

expected to expand its
homeless project in ex-
pectation that the situa-
tion would become worse
this winter.
Reporting that many of
the 450 homeless residents
were young, that many had
at least a high school educa-
tion and that families with
young children made up
more than a third of the 450,
Saul Cohen, chairman of
the federation committee on
the homeless, called the in-
formation "a somber sur-
prise." _
The 450 who were
evaluated are being helped
by the federation homeless
program, which is adminis-
tered by the federation em-
ployment and guidance
service, Liederman said.
In a breakdown of the
findings, Liederman re-
ported that families with
children make up 34 per-
cent of the 450, or about 150
of the new homeless"; the
majority — 52 percent —
are headed by a single par-
ent; more than half of home-
less adults have a high
school diploma; 28 have col-
lege degrees and nine have
graduate degrees.
He added that 56 per-
cent, around 230 indi-
viduals, are between the
ages of 21 and 50; women
make up 40 percent,
about 180 persons, of the
450 homeless; and that
some of the "new home-
less" have good job re-
