The number of New Yorkers applying for emergency grants to stay in their homes is skyrocketing — as the number of people staying in homeless shelters reached an all-time high last weekend, records show.

There were 82,306 applications for one-time emergency grants to prevent evictions in fiscal 2016, up 26 percent from 65,138 requests the previous year, according to the Mayor’s Management Report.

The city’s fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30.

Without the aid — which comes from city funds and was approved in roughly two-thirds of the cases — even more families would likely have entered the shelter system.

“I think the need is as high as it’s been over the past several years in terms of folks not being able to afford New York City,” said Giselle Routhier, policy director at Coalition for the Homeless

What they wrote an article about homelessness in America under Obama? Notice they did not even mention who has been in charge of our everything for the last 8 years. The day after Trump takes office, homelessness everywhere will be the headlines, lots of people to line up and interview about how bad Trump is because of all these domestic terrorists attacks, black men attacks and homelessness, vapors for the press.

I heard a NYC resident say "this is the new normal bombings every other day, we need to get used to it". If Bush was President this resident would be screaming about Bush not protecting us. See we need an R president to hold his feet to the fire by the press and the R's, they just won't do it to a D, not ever.

I just sold a house on 10 acres of land with 1,000 feet of riverfront. A 6900sf custom built house with etched glass entry doors, a 30 foot river rock fireplace, (rock found in the river on the property), 2000 square feet of decks and 30 foot ceilings. It has two bridges over the creek to the 2 bedroom, 3 bath guest house, not one but two bridges. A 11 gpm well, pasture, big pond and barn and a caretaker house. Sales price $1,000,199!!

Come to Oregon, land is cheap, no don't come to Oregon if you are a democrat.

How is this possible if the Brown Clown has been running the Great Recovery spreading domestic jobs, wealth and racial harmony while leading the world to global peace from behind?

Yes, the PTB will raise the interest rates with a Trump presidency, thus “proving” him, the GOP, and conservatives “wrong”.

values will keep going up until there is a crisis.

Nope, Wrong the only thing that has been happening since 1965 is the VALUE of your DOLLAR is being STOLEN at a rate of about 5% Annually.

Deficit Spending and Credit Money

The biggest crisis of all time will begin on November 9 if we don’t elect Trump.

If you are upside down, then yes, stay.

Good advice I got long ago is - Never sell your house unless you know you’re going to get at least $50k profit.
