NYC Homeless Woman Slept in a Box, Now This Chair

One of the first things Cynthia shared with me is she used to sleep in a box. Cynthia now rests on a reclining chair living homeless in New York City. She felt it was an upgrade from sleeping on the cold ground.
My work is far from scientific. I do not collect data on people. However, I do visit the same cities and walk through the same areas. Each time I visit a location, street homelessness has noticeably grown, and this trip to New York, street homelessness is far more visible. More people are sleeping outside, and there are far more seniors and elderly homeless women living on the streets of Manhattan.
Cynthia says she has been homeless for seven years. In this interview, she shares about the abuse women face on the streets and the horror of the NYC shelter system. Cynthia says she is on a housing list, but the wait seems endless. Unfortunately, millions of homeless Americans are waiting for housing, but little to no housing is available.

About Invisible People
There is a direct correlation between what the general public perceives about homelessness and how it affects policy change. Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, childhood trauma, lack of a living wage, or the countless reasons that put a person at risk. This lack of understanding creates a dangerous cycle of misperception that leads to the inability to effectively address the root causes of homelessness.
We imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home. Each day, we work to fight homelessness by giving it a face while educating individuals about the systemic issues that contribute to its existence. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, we are changing the narrative on homelessness.
This isn’t just talk. Each year, our groundbreaking educational content reaches more than a billion people across the globe. Our real and unfiltered stories of homelessness shatter stereotypes, demand attention and deliver a call-to-action that is being answered by governments, major brands, nonprofit organizations, and everyday citizens just like you.
However, there is more work to be done on the road ahead. Homelessness is undoubtedly one of our biggest societal issues today and will only continue to grow if we don’t take action now.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about homelessness through innovative storytelling, news, and advocacy. Since our launch in 2008, Invisible People has become a pioneer and trusted resource for inspiring action and raising awareness in support of advocacy, policy change and thoughtful dialogue around poverty in North America and the United Kingdom.

There is a HUGE back story here, beginning with one word… “why”?

[@DanielleCapichano]

Something's off about her situation. Story time; summer 2012 my psychotic brother chased me out of the house. I spent a month at what the time was one of only two women's intake shelters in New York city, the Franklin armory women's shelter. After a month of assessing my situation they transferred me to Susan's Place on Jerome Avenue in the Bronx, since although my situation was considered domestic violence, my particular scenario didn't fit the criteria they were capable of handling. That shelter however did meet my immediate needs, in that wherever I was to stay was to be within walking distance of the subway, within the five boroughs and a half an hour's distance from Manhattan. I only stayed there a month before I was able to find my own place, which is an outlier compared to most economic homeless clients. Granted these shelters are less than ideal, but they do meet your needs and they will work to your whim if you remind them what kind of scrutiny they're under, such as the close eye of the ACLU; American Civil Liberties Union and the like. Furthermore; New York State and Massachusetts are unique in this one sector compared to most other of the lower 48 states; they are mandatory shelter states. Even if you get kicked out of a shelter, it's a temporary trespass until the rules were fresh for the violating individual after a certain time. By their state law, the local government needs to get you housed is what I'm saying. I'm also saying that something is not adding up about her situation. Unless she's a constant rule breaker or the shelter staffs are constantly harassing her and not addressing her disability accessibility needs as required by the Americans with disabilities act, there's no valid reason she should be living like this right now nor should she have been sleeping rough on the street sort of homeless for as long as she's been.

The more I watch these videos it’s so clear that the powers to be, don’t want to fix this. Is it just greed plain and simple? “Market rate rent” which is out of control is fueling this. If so, then I see it as evil among us and even more reason to trust in God. Having something bigger to focus on gives you a shot at not “losing it”. She sounds strong and articulate- I pray her *safe haven* comes through!

I hope she gets the help she needs.

NYC has a Right to Shelter law. She does not, by law, have to be there. Whole different story on the West Coast.

[@william_coduks]

There should not be any homeless anywhere

[@melody2unes]

Ny is my home state and I hate it. It gets worse by the day. I am glad I left that demonic state. My prayers are with her, she needs help. I hope she can get out of the state.

I worked in health care system in ohio helping people get off the streets. This fine lady needs to go to free health clinic get physical , to get the medical diagnosis. This will give her a platform for getting into a nursing home. She would need the help of her social worker. Then go to dental clinic that is either a teaching school or set up to take care of the poorer clients. Also some Regular dentist will give of their services to these clinics If you need medication some pharmacist will agree to give medication to people in need. But they are hard to find. The system is in place but you have to be the glue to stick it together. Good luck.

Yes, I agree notiify your people in government, and yes I will notify them I have two in my area. In the past I did notify them but will do again. To all good folks in our country. I worked in nursing homes and in metal health facilities and at state mental health institutions. I worked up from aid work at 19 years old to Director of Nursing and corporate nurse running several homes in different cities. My health has taken over me that's why I quit. When I was in charge my companies made more money then they dreamed of spending. I got my regular pay. Now ... having said that Getting the homeless off the streets is a tying together of the many systems that we already have up and running. First find the home that is licensed ( always stay in the Federal systems) and in need of patients. Do not at that time notify the social worker. Next get the client and they need to have a social security number assigned to them. If need be you take them to the county social services, Not the nursing home social worker. Will continual

[@allensteven5557]

Next take the client to free health clinic. Have doctor do a medical physical. We need the doctor to list as many medical conditions as the client has. IF THERE IS A MENTAL CONDITION ASK THE DOCTOR TO PLACE THAT DIAGNOSIS IN 3RD OR 4TH PLACE. (As long as client is not in psychotic episode. If there are you must treat that medically first.) Next contact the social worker at nursing home for interviews and then admission. Bring client with paperwork to social worker. Unless something unexpected happens you got your first admission.

Prayers for her. May her wishes come true. Bad place to be homeless in NYC. A place that will drag you under.

[@leutiagrey8030]

You cut her off toward the end when she mentioned she is writing something on cancer research ??? Why? Why didn’t you spotlight her interest and action in this work? You brushed her off… this would bring light and attention to her and help her even more because of what she is trying to do. Please update us on her progress and please make a video focusing on how the homeless are ALSO EDUCATED!!!!

If the police and senators of NY think that “every homeless person is mental” you would think that would be a motivating factor to help them rather than write them off. So sad!
