NY Governor’s Homeless Order Does Little in New York City on First Night

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s order to move all homeless people off of the streets during frigid nights had scant impact in New York City on its first day on Tuesday other than fuel an ongoing political battle with Mayor Bill de Blasio, advocates said.

City workers placed 97 people living on city streets in shelters and hospitals overnight, as temperatures dropped below freezing, according to official figures. The number was not unusual, city officials said.
