"Last month, a record 37,100 homeless people were sleeping in city shelters each night, according to the Coalition for the Homeless, which compiles statistics for the city. The number was 21,000 as recently as 1998. "
I wonder how many of these people are homeless because they were thrown out of the welfare system. Maybe about 16,000?
Welfare to work was fine as long as the economy was good and there were plenty of jobs. Now that unemployment is going up, what are we going to do with these people?
