Posted on July 20, 2015 by Albor Ruiz in New York Daily News New York Daily News, By Albor Ruiz New York is a great city and New Yorkers are a proud bunch. Yet one has to question if they have a right to be proud when thousands of New Yorkers have to live in homeless shelters or sleep on the streets. The great shame of the city is that homelessness is at its highest point since the Great Depression. A record 60,000 homeless New Yorkers, including more then 25,000 children, sleep in shelters each night. During the last fiscal year, one in 42 children slept in the homeless shelter system, including one of every 17 African-American children and one of every 34 Latino children.
