New Yorker in Soviet film touted as homeless victim
Joseph Mauri a Manhattan resident cited as homeless in a Soviet documentary is shown as a symbol of America's housing woes while living in a $400 studio on the Upper West Side. He says chronic illness and eviction shaped his fate though he holds a union job and two homes. The Times reports Mauri earned up to 680 weekly as a mailroom substitute and worked 23 shifts this year for about 3000, contradicting claims of homelessness.
