Homeless in New York City has hit all time record in 09/08.

From the New York Times, 10/29/08:

In what some see as a sign of the economic downturn’s impact on the city’s poorest, more families entered the homeless shelter system in September than in any other month since data has been collected.

Some 1,446 families entered shelter in September, city officials said. That was the highest number in one month since the city began keeping track 25 years ago. In each of the past three months, the city has seen record numbers of families admitted to shelter.

With the increase, roughly 9,300 families are now in shelter, or more than 28,000 people. In 2003, when the previous record was set, the average daily census of families in shelter was 9,200.

The federal government bails out the plutocrats with billions of dollars and the poor people suffer. Something is terribly wrong in America.
