I would say that the homeless problem in the United States is a problem that is not just exclusive to New York and is one that has been plaguing many states and people in the United States. Things that increase/contribute to the growing number of homeless people in New York is first the cost of living, mental illness, and drugs. Many people can not be treated for addiction and ultimately succumb to addiction and become homeless. In addition, many people with mental illness who are not properly treated end up on the streets as well.

I believe there may be so many homeless people in New York due to the lack of resources and agencies helping them. I think we can decrease the amount by making new programs that can help a bigger number of people affected by homelessness and get these people the things they need to get out of it like doctors, psychiatrists, rehabilitation centers, job fairs etc.
