New York City Mayor Eric Adams today announced that City Hall and other municipal buildings will be lit green tonight as part of “Wear Green Day” to bring awareness to Youth Homelessness, Outreach, Prevention, Education (HOPE) Month.
Youth HOPE Month — which takes place throughout November — calls attention to the experiences of runaway and homeless youth and promotes crucial resources to connect young people to services and support.
“At a time when we still have too many young people living on our streets, Youth HOPE Month not only shines a light on this crucial issue, but helps promote resources to address it,” said Mayor Adams. “From drop-in centers to youth counseling, our agencies and offices work around the clock to meet our young people wherever they are and keep New Yorkers safe. We are proud to participate in Youth HOPE Month and support runaway and homeless youth every day of the year.”
“As we turn City Hall and other municipal buildings green tonight, I know this is only one of the many ways we are shining a light on the issues impacting runaway incidents and homelessness for youth,” said Deputy Mayor for Strategic Initiatives Ana J. Almanzar. “Our city agencies, such as the Department of Youth and Community Development, offer critical support for young people by providing food, shelter, life skills, and vocational training. We are committed to continue working and taking action to help reduce the number of young people facing these stability challenges.”
“Providing essential services through our runaway and homeless youth programs is at the core of our mission to eradicate youth homelessness and maintain safe spaces and opportunities for young people to flourish,” said New York City Department of Youth and Community Development Commissioner Keith Howard. “We proudly join Mayor Adams in lighting up City Hall and other city buildings in green to shine a light on preventing youth homelessness and to highlight the important work the administration continues to do throughout the year.”
