The Homeless Will Soon Be Forced Out Of The Subway Overnight. Where Will They Go?

When New York City’s nightly subway shutdown begins on Wednesday, Ann Marie Finley doesn’t know where she’ll sleep. One of the city’s estimated 3,600 street homeless, Finley said that she hadn’t heard about Governor Andrew Cuomo’s announcement that service would soon be discontinued between 1:00 and 5:00 a.m.

“They’re victimizing people that are poor,” Finley told Gothamist early Saturday morning, speaking about the police officers who forced her to leave the World Trade Center terminal station. “I have used the subway to keep warm.”
