Homelessness can affect anyone
A new report has come out from the Mayor’s Office of New York showing that homelessness is on the rise in New York, and more people are using food stamps and on welfare than a year ago, more evidence of the devastating toll of the economic downturn on low-income neighborhoods. Most strikingly I found is that there is now a 25% increase in family homelessness – a portion of the population that is most directly affected by economic conditions since the majority of family homelessness is caused by inability to pay rent.
This is just further evidence that homelessness is to New York what crime is to Gotham.
