Kathryn Kliff, a staff attorney with the Legal Aid Society, joins “In Focus” to explain if the city’s shelters have been struggling to meet demand and why she thinks that is.

Founded in 1876, the Legal Aid Society helps ensure people who need shelter get it. About 4,000 asylum seekers entered the city’s shelter system since late May and the city’s Department of Homeless Services Census has seen a 10% increase. Legal Aid has said the city cannot provide very basic data like how many people had to sleep at the PATH intake center in violation of law, or how many are not getting placements like they should have.

Kliff explains some other issues she’s noticed and discusses this week’s special City Council oversight hearing. Many migrants have arrived in New York with wrong addresses on immigration forms, leading many to get lost and miss mail from immigration court.
