New York homeless population ticked down slightly this year but remained at near-record levels as City Hall continues to spend billions on the crisis, new figures set to be released by the federal government show.

All told, 78,604 New Yorkers were without permanent homes in January 2019, the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s annual homelessness census will show.

The 2019 tally was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

The count includes the nearly 60,000 people who are in the city shelter system run by DHS, as well as those who receive assistance from state and federal agencies and private charities.

That’s down less than one percent from the 78,676 New Yorkers the feds found homeless for the survey in January 2018, but up from the 67,810 people found by the feds when Mayor Bill de Blasio took office in January 2014.

The city plans to spend $2.1 billion during the upcoming year on providing shelter.
