As Mayor Bill de Blasio's announced a new program to address the homelessness crisis on Thursday, CBS New York found more people in desperate need of help.
Amidst the busy travel season, many people are rushing to LaGuardia Airport. But as CBS New York's Meg Baker reported exclusively, they may be surprised to see homeless people sleeping over a heating duct on a window ledge -- right next to a Christmas tree there.
At 2 a.m. one person was spotted asleep in a wheelchair with plastic bags full of belongings. People were also seen camped out in sleeping bags, and even bathing themselves in public restrooms.
They clean themselves and their clothes in full public view.
"I've been staying here for a while," one 68-year-old homeless man said. "Most everybody here is homeless."
The man said he has been staying at LaGuardia for years. He began talking to CBS New York's Baker near the baggage claim carousels in Terminal B. Full story...
