Cuomo Says City Should Spend More to Combat ‘Major Homeless Problem’

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said today that New York City’s homelessness problem was obvious—and that Mayor Bill de Blasio should spend more city money to combat it.

“If you walk around New York City, I think it’s hard not to conclude that we have a major homeless problem in the City of New York,” Mr. Cuomo told reporters today after an unrelated Manhattan press conference. “We have a major homeless problem all across the country. And I think the mayor is now acknowledging that we have a very serious homeless problem.”
