Per Reuters:

New York City is facing a level of homelessness - not seen since the Great Depression in the 1930s.

That’s according to the Coalition for the Homeless, a not-for-profit.

As of mid-August, there were more than 110,000 people sleeping in the city’s shelter system each night.

And that number doesn’t include the thousands of unsheltered people who sleep on the streets.

Compounding the chronic problem is an influx of asylum seekers, who now make up more than half the sheltered population.

NEW YORK CITY MAYOR ERIC ADAMS: "Now we're getting people from all over the globe..."

Mayor Eric Adams says the city is running out of money, space and personnel to care for asylum seekers.

“I don't see an ending to this. This issue will destroy New York City. Destroy New York City. We're getting 10,000 migrants a month...”
