In New York City record numbers sleep nightly in shelters and on streets, subway platforms, and cathedral steps. The sluggish economy and aftereffects of terrorism swell homelessness across the nation, with NYC averaging over 37,000 nightly in shelters, up from about 21,000 in 1998, while homeless families rise from 4,429 to 8,925.
