ALBANY, N.Y., Jan. 3 (UPI) -- On Sunday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order require all homeless people to seek shelter when temperatures drop below freezing.

The order directs state agencies -- including police, social services and others -- to take "all necessary steps to identify individuals reasonably believed to be homeless and unwilling or unable to find the shelter necessary for safety and health in inclement winter weather, and move such individuals to the appropriate sheltered facilities."

The directive goes into effect Tuesday.

A 2015 count tallied 88,250 homeless people in New York, statewide -- the highest homelessness rate since the Great Depression.

Wait a sec.....something isn't right.

I thought there were homeless only during Republican administrations.

Does anyone remember how the media used to lambast Reagan for the alleged homelessness problem?

I also thought that besides lowering the sea level, 0bama was going to solve all these problems.

What's up?

So, if there is not enough shelter space, they’re supposed to break into private residences to obey his orders?

He’ll just have to order selected property owners to let a homeless person sleep on their couch.

Whoa, WHAT? “A 2015 count tallied 88,250 homeless people in New York, statewide — the highest homelessness rate since the Great Depression.”

Simply not possible. Everybody knows homelessness simply doesn’t exist when you have Dem Mayors, Dem Governors, and Dem POTUS.

Brook Hays...report for re-education immediately and turn in your journalism “degree” forthwith.

Perhaps he should also order them to eat cake when they are hungry.

LOL, that would keep them warm but I read recently that Hawaii has a major homelessness problem too.

Hmmm, homelessness ALL in democratic jurisdictions; you'd think the media would report on this.

What’s the difference between a hobo and a homo?

A hobo doesn’t have any friends.
A homo has friends up the a**.

"The directive goes into effect Tuesday."

24 hours too late.

Monday, the night temp is predicted to be 3F.

There will be a lot of frozen stiff homeless on Tuesday morning.
