THE SHAME OF AMERICA⁉️ You Won’t Believe What’s Happening to the Homeless in New York 😱 158K People Without Homes in the “City of Dreams” 😢 America’s HOMELESS CRISIS 2025⁉️😱🥵 New York City is often seen as the city of dreams—skyscrapers, Broadway lights, and the energy of Times Square. But behind that glamorous image lies a harsh truth: New York has the largest homelessness crisis in America. On any given night, more than 60,000–70,000 people sleep in city-run shelters, and tens of thousands more survive on the streets, in subway stations, or in makeshift camps. Altogether, over 158,000 people experience homelessness in New York—nearly one in five of the nation’s entire homeless population. In this video, we break down: 🏙️ Where homelessness is visible – From Penn Station and Times Square to abandoned buildings in Brooklyn and the Bronx. 📉 Why it happens – A severe housing shortage, skyrocketing rents (over $3,300 a month on average), mental health struggles, and drug addiction. 📊 The numbers – 42% of children in Binghamton live in poverty, and 25% of NYC’s homeless population suffers from severe mental illness. ⚖️ Policies – NYC’s unique “right-to-shelter” law guarantees temporary housing for anyone in need, but it also strains the city’s $4 billion shelter system. 🚨 The Trump era – Federal budget cuts, a focus on enforcement instead of solutions, and rising tensions in cities like New York and California. 💡 Possible solutions – Expanding affordable housing, investing in mental health and addiction treatment, and scaling proven models like Housing First, which already reduced chronic homelessness in Houston by 63%. From families with children in overcrowded shelters to veterans and asylum seekers pushed to the margins, homelessness in New York reflects deep systemic failures—but also opportunities for change. 👉 If you care about hidden struggles in America’s biggest cities, hit like and subscribe for more documentaries on social and economic issues across the United States. #nyc #homelessness #homelesscrisis #newyorkcity #urbanissues #housingcrisis ============= ⏱️ Timestamp 00:00 – The dark side of New York 01:15 – How big is NYC’s homelessness crisis? 02:09 – Types of homelessness in New York 03:35 – Where it’s most visible: Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn 04:33 – Causes: housing, rent, drugs, mental health 06:43 – The right-to-shelter policy & budget strain 09:15: – Nonprofit responses: Bowery Mission, Doe Fund, Coalition for the Homeless 11:47 – Trump-era policies and their impact 13:13 – Current efforts: housing plans and reforms 14:48 – Solutions & closing thoughts ============= 👇 Discover more captivating videos👇 🔴 Homeless Population Growth in America’s Greatest States • Homeless Population Growth in America’s Gr... 🔴 Homeless Population Growth in America’s Greatest Cities • Homeless Population Growth in America’s Gr... 🔴 Violent Crime Explodes in America’s Most Dangerous Cities • Violent Crime Explodes in America’s Most D... 🔴 The Dark Side of Las Vegas • The Dark Side of Las Vegas: The Most SINFU... 🔴 The Dark Side of Oakland • The Dark Side of Oakland ============= DISCLAIMER Please note: The thumbnail is for visual engagement and may not fully reflect video content.
