Fraud Not Care

If Care Not Cash, based on the system of former Mayor Guiliani of New York
will end homelessness why has New York seen the following changes in it's
Homeless population living in the shelter system. Newsom's Proposition N
proposes to replace cash payments with services such as shelter and food
without any gaurantees on such services to help end homelessness.

In New York the daily average of people staying in shelters in 1990 was
18,000. In 2002 after the Guiliani's Care Not Cash plan it was 32.850

In 1994 there were on any average day 6,106 single adults staying in
shelters in New York City, after the Guiliani Care Not Cash plan there
were 7914 single adults staying in shelters in 2002. Gavin Newsom's
proposal is aimed at single adults, yet it will not aleviate the problem
only create a greater burden on the homeless and tax payers.

If Care Not Cash ends homelessness then why have the numbers of homeless
people staying in shelters gone up?
