A new city ad campaign is on its way, aimed at helping New Yorkers avoid homelessness.
The four-month campaign called "Reach Out, Before You're Forced Out of Your Home" will target families in 15 at-risk communities through ads on billboards, subway, and buses.

Public service announcements will also air in July.
