To fix this issue, the NYPD is now arresting the homeless on subways and trains because “The MTA establishes its own rules and regulations, all panhandling — peaceful included — is illegal.” In order to even be provided with a shelter, the homeless person or family must first provide evidence to show that they are in fact homeless. The National Coalition for the Homeless states that emergency winter shelters which provide shelter for the homeless on cold nights, don’t allow anyone shelter unless temperatures are below 32 degrees with wind chill for at least 4 hours. Sources say that at least five homeless people froze to death this year.

Shortly after, Bloomberg proposed a strict policy that he thought would cut down on the homeless population but instead, it heightened the issue. He wanted to require homeless individuals to prove they had no other housing options before being able to reside in a city-run shelter. According to Newyork.cbslocal.com, there has been a 70% increase under Bloomberg’s watch. The problem that’s causing such an increase in this specific population is because of the increase of house costs. Compared to other states, New York has the second highest homeless population in the country and holds the highest number of homeless families in the United States in 2013. This is equivalent to nearly 1 in 5 or 18% as stated
