In 2021, the threshold, updated for inflation, was $13,788 for one person and $27,740 for a household of four. As noted in the report, alternative measures of poverty show greater numbers of households in need.

Read More »Almost 2.7 million New Yorkers, or 13.9% of the state’s population, lived in poverty in 2021, compared to 12.8% of all Americans, according to the first in a series of reports released today by State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli examining “New Yorkers in Need.” While poverty rates in the state declined prior to the pandemic, they were higher in 2021 than in 2019. New York ranked 13th among all states and had a higher rate of people in poverty than neighboring states and most large states. “While economic hardships existed long before the pandemic, it deepened the financial stress experienced by many households,” DiNapoli said. “We saw what a large and broad federal response achieved, as the country made historic progress in the fight against poverty. Continued federal resources, along with a greater equity in state services, can help improve the lives of New Yorkers struggling to make ends meet.”

Read More »DiNapoli said alleviating poverty in a sustained manner must be an intergovernmental effort, with the federal government continuing to play the largest and most significant part as the level of government best equipped to intervene effectively. In particular, the federal government should: Continue to evaluate alternative measures and update them as necessary to allow for accurate assessments of need that reflect modern living standards. Assess current programs for potential improvements, including the adequacy of benefit amounts and flexibility in local administration. Continue and expand effective interventions, like those administered during the pandemic, that have demonstrated a meaningful reduction in poverty. DiNapoli commended the state for setting the laudable goal of reducing child poverty by 50% over the next decade and said reaching the goal should involve formalizing a cross-agency effort that involves data-sharing, improved evaluation and reporting, and coordinated management. In addition, the state should ensure those eligible for assistance are aware of and can easily access program services and assistance and commit to greater equity in state services to target resources to those who need them the most. This report is the first in a series examining poverty in New York. Subsequent reports will look at specific dimensions of poverty, including food insecurity and housing insecurity. “State Comptroller DiNapoli’s report presents sobering realities faced by New Yorkers in need of all ages, backgrounds, and locations across our state,” said State Senator Roxanne J. Persaud (Brooklyn), Chair of the Senate Social Services Committee. “Too many children live in poverty, too many older New Yorkers face hunger and struggle to keep bills paid. I share the State Comptroller’s view that poverty measures are antiquated, failing to account for true costs of living, and I will continue to advocate for a State Self-Sufficiency Standard, among other measures, to ensure that New York state is enacting policy and delivering programs that truly meet the needs of all our neighbors. Significant progress has been made but many silos have yet to be merged.” "The latest report from State Comptroller DiNapoli sheds light on the troubling trend of poverty and the unacceptably high levels of poverty among people with disabilities,” said State Senator John W. Mannion (Syracuse), Chairman of the Disabilities Committee. “We must work together to ensure that all members of our community have the support and resources they need to overcome poverty and achieve financial stability. This is a priority for me in the Senate and I’ll continue to push for solutions like the historic expansion of the Preferred Source program that can make a real difference in the lives of those who are most in need.” "Despite being home to some of the wealthiest people in the U.S., New York state also has the dismal distinction of ranking 13th in poverty rates nationwide, according to State Comptroller DiNapoli's eye-opening report," said Assemblymember Linda B. Rosenthal (Manhattan), Chair of the Assembly Committee on Social Services. "Poverty rates have risen dramatically in recent years, in part due to the pandemic, and women, people of color, disabled people and other disadvantaged communities have borne the brunt of the increase. The report provides a roadmap to changing these dynamics, and I look forward to passing legislation that will invest in efforts to strengthen our social safety net, such as increasing outdated cash assistance grant levels, providing families with additional tax credits and expanding rental subsidies, all of which have never been more urgent." “The breadth and depth of poverty in the City of Rochester and elsewhere throughout our state is absolutely unacceptable,” said Assemblymember Harry Bronson (Rochester), Chair of the Assembly Economic Development Committee. “Since being named chair of the Assembly’s Economic Development Committee in 2021, I have worked to make sure that racial, social, and economic justice is considered in every funding and policy decision we make so no one is left on the economic sidelines without opportunities or hope. We know to break the cycle of systemic poverty we must invest in programs that set our youth up for success which is why I introduced and helped pass the “Child Poverty Reduction Act.” This law established a child poverty reduction goal of 50% over 10 years holding New York state accountable while meeting the needs of more children and families. This report reveals we have a lot of work to do, but our families deserve nothing less.” “I would like to thank State Comptroller DiNapoli and his staff for their work on this crucially important report which puts facts and figures behind the realities for millions of struggling New Yorkers,” said Assemblyman Andrew Hevesi (Queens), Chair of the Children and Families Committee. “I wholeheartedly agree with the State Comptroller’s recommendation to expand effective interventions that have demonstrated a meaningful reduction in poverty like the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit. I look forward to working with the State Comptroller to implement these recommendations.” “The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic caused extremely challenging economic hardships for many New Yorkers, exacerbating our state’s existing cost-of-living crisis,” said Assemblyman Al Stirpe (Central New York). “State Comptroller DiNapoli’s report is a critical data-driven tool that helps map out the prevalence of poverty and unemployment in our state, especially among disabled New Yorkers. As we continue our economic recovery, it’s important that we work together with our partners in the federal government to reduce poverty rates and ensure residents can access the services and programs they need. I’ll continue working to ensure our families and most vulnerable neighbors are able to make ends meet.”

Read More »“This critical report by State Comptroller DiNapoli reminds us of the utter necessity and mandate for we New Yorkers to address the needs of our brothers and sisters who are systematically excluded from opportunities, because of their poverty,” said Rev. Richard Witt, Executive Director of the Rural & Migrant Ministry. “We must take specific concern for those families in rural New York who have little access to resources necessary to improve their lives. I truly hope this report will lead our policy makers to prioritize anti-poverty measures and that all of us, as New Yorkers, will commit to real change.” “The report findings further evidence the breadth and depth of economic insecurity experienced by New Yorkers across several New York counties that for far too long has been undercounted using an outdated and flawed measurement”, said Jennifer Jones Austin, CEO of FPWA. “We at FPWA are calling on our government to develop and utilize more accurate measurements that calculate the true cost of living, and we look forward to working with Comptroller DiNapoli to achieve this critical change.” “The United Way of New York State commends the State Comptroller for bringing a spotlight to poverty trends in New York State,” said Hugh Parry, United Way of New York State President. “Local United Ways across the state, work with their non-profit partners to provide services to those in need but have also seen first-hand the impact COVID-19 had on families that have not needed to seek support before. Today we are seeing a growing need for housing and rental supports. We remain committed to assist those in poverty and the many who struggle just above the federal poverty line to make ends meet. It is through our partnership with state government that we can connect those seeking help through our 2-1-1 information and referral 24/7/365 hotline. There’s great power in the public/private partnership to address poverty in New York state and we will need to continue to work together to implement strategies to ensure equity within services and funding.” “Poverty is an urgent and solvable problem in a state as well-resourced as New York,” said Empire Justice Center President and CEO Kristin Brown. “This new report documents that, particularly during the pandemic, poverty harmed marginalized communities the most. Empire Justice Center applauds Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli and Governor Kathy Hochul for shining a light on the inequitable impact of poverty, and for presenting solutions. We support the recommendations in this report and from the Child Poverty Reduction Advisory Council, particularly extending the Child Tax Credit, the Earned Income Tax Credit, and the Empire State Child Tax Credit, and increasing the public assistance shelter allowance and basic needs grants. All together, these are concrete actionable steps that will move the needle on the goal of reducing poverty in New York state and we look forward to working toward their enactment in 2023.” “The New York State Comptroller's report underscores that poverty is a policy choice. During the first two years of the pandemic, bold government interventions provided a lifeline for millions of New Yorkers. They helped forestall a massive increase in poverty and hardship amid massive job and income loss. Yet, the data also shows us that millions of New Yorkers remain in and near poverty, and stubborn racial and economic disparities exist,” said Richard Buery, Jr., CEO of Robin Hood. “Robin Hood applauds the report for calling for the restoration of pandemic-era policy reforms, like the expanded Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit and joins the Comptroller's office in urging New York State to adopt an all-hands-on-deck, collective commitment to reducing poverty for New Yorkers and their families.
