NEW YORK, NEW YORK - FEBRUARY 04: A homeless person in a sleeping bag keeps warm in a train station on February 04, 2026 in New York City. The new New York City Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is facing increased pressure from public officials and homeless advocates after at least 16 people have died since a massive snowstorm hit the city, ushering in more than a week of below-freezing temperatures. While not all of the people were thought to be homeless, many were without shelter. It is estimated that there are over 158,000 homeless individuals in New York City, one of the highest rates in the nation. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
