This is New York… one of the richest and most powerful cities in the United States. A city known for luxury, success, and endless opportunities. But behind the skyscrapers and bright lights, there is a hidden reality that most people never see.

In this documentary, we explore the real homelessness crisis in New York City. This is not just another story about poverty — this is the raw, unfiltered truth about life on the streets of America’s biggest city. From people sleeping on sidewalks and subway stations to families living in shelters, this is the side of New York that is often ignored.

Homelessness in New York has reached crisis levels. Thousands of people are struggling every single day. Rising rent prices, lack of affordable housing, mental health issues, job loss, and economic inequality have created a system where even working people are becoming homeless. Even people with full-time jobs are unable to afford housing in New York City.

This video shows the harsh reality of the NYC homeless crisis, including street life, shelter conditions, and the daily survival struggles faced by homeless individuals in the United States. Many people are forced to live in subways, under bridges, and in overcrowded shelters. Some even create underground communities just to survive.
