Interesting. You’d think with all the global warming going on there’d be no problems with homeless people freezing to death.
Typical NYC politics. So would they rather have churches doing this or the City? So the city can get millions in homeless grants from the gubmint. That’s what this all boils down to.
So much for PL- for community mental health centers in 1963. Might have worked had the funding been there and there still would have been housing for hard core mentally ill.
It is tragic all the way around now. They are very very sick, they get abused on the streets, and treatment is difficult because everyone has been so ‘helpful’ with their rights (not) that they are difficult to help with meds.
I find it ironic that the oh so progressive San Fran city can’t do any better with funding and helping the homeless mentally ill...even though they have lots of money ...ha! big on “freedom” , low on charity..typical libs!
Maybe Bloomberg ought to sleep on the sidewalks with the homeless.
Thomas Sowell once mentioned in a book that there are more abandoned housing units in New York City than there are homeless people.

Unbelievable. God help us.
Can anyone figure out THE REASON for this?

Yes they sleep the steps with all of the things you or I would have burned, filty bags, flea infested, smells to bold you over.
Try walking pass these places some are very menacing.
The groups that promotes this are liberals churches who use religion to harrang the working folkes with.
God help those who help themselves.
These liberal churches who are enablers, they are not into teaching one how to fish, these are the feel guilty crowd who think you are crew for trying to get folks to rise to their ability to function.
The same liberal thinking that fought to free the mentally ill from the institutions.
Most are on the streets and are not able to take care of themselves and are off their meds.
Probably because most churches in the US worship money more than they worship God?
The government was trying to pull the same kind of thing on churches that were feeding the homeless. The government was requiring the churches to have commercial-grade kitchens, which most churches couldn’t afford.
Keep your doors closed and let the homeless freeze to death??? I would tell NYC to stick it where the sun dont shine. Christ commands us to help those in need. The Church of Christ must always be ready to help those in need.
Blame the ACLU.
