DHS Shelter Indicator

This indicator is the number of individuals in NYC dept of homeless services shelter on march 31st for 2018 and 2019. This indicator is different from most one-offs in two ways.

Source data from API

Ingestion process was put in ingest/ folder as it's slightly more complex than reading in spreadsheet from resources folder. Hopefully this ingestion process is more extendable than the typical spreadsheet from resources folder approach.

PUMA-less records

Some individuals have a borough but not a PUMA. These records are counted in the numbers we report for borough and citywide but not the PUMA level aggregations

My apologies for naming the branch wrong, don't think it's worth chaning
