Record number of New Yorkers sleep in homeless shelters: report

The New York Daily News reports:
A record number of New Yorkers were forced into city homeless shelters last year, a new report says.

The Coalition for the Homeless says that in the 12 months ending last June 30, 113,553 New Yorkers slept in city shelters.

That's a 37% increase since 2002 when Mayor Bloomberg took office.
