NYC Launches Ad Campaign to Prevent Homelessness

NEW YORK (AP) —

New York City is launching an ad campaign aimed at helping people at risk of losing their homes.

The ads will begin appearing this week in subways, check-cashing establishments and barbershops. They urge people faced with losing their homes to contact Homebase, a city homelessness prevention program.
