The Homeless and the Blizzard of 2015

Historic Winter Storm Is A Real Emergency For New York City's Homeless

There are two stats that stand out in this article by Christopher Mathias for the Huffington Post. 

1. There are 60,000 homeless in New York who regularly sleep in shelters. That's about as many people that live in West Hartford.
2. There are 3,300 who sleep on the street.   

The saving grace for the homeless are Christian organizations like the Bowery Mission 

 and Trinity Lutheran Church, Trinity Lutheran has stocked enough food to feed those they serve for a couple of weeks. A lesson they learned during Sandy.
