Moreover, this city lacks in terms of homeless shelters for men and homeless shelters for women, which means that every man and woman has to take to the streets.
#4 – Los Angeles, California
This is the second American city in this list and it comes in the fourth place. Los Angeles is reflective of the situation of homeless people in the United States. It is one of those US cities that lay claim to most of the homeless people (58,000).
Moreover, there is a scarcity of homeless shelters in Los Angeles, which means that people spend the majority of their time on the streets and have to rely on alms for their livelihood.
#3 – Mumbai, India
The city of Mumbai lays claim to the third spot on this list. It is sad how this city has a total number of 60,000 homeless people who find no shelter but the streets in which to stay.
We should be especially concerned for the homeless people of Mumbai as the majority of them is composed of children. These children find no homeless shelters in which to stay, which makes them subject to exploitation and abuse.
#2 – New York City, New York
The third American city has made it to this list of cities with the largest population of homeless people, and it lays claim to the second place. Since it belongs to the cities with the most homeless people, you will find homeless people in New York wherever you go.
The number has recently reached 74,000 homeless people. Unfortunately, New York homeless shelters cannot tend to the needs of all these people.
#1 – Manila, Philippines; 3.1 million homeless
The number one spot on this dismal list goes to the city of Manila which is located in the Philippines.
You will not believe this number when you read it, but the city of Manila has a total number of 3.1 million homeless people, making it the top homeless city in the world. Children make up most of these people, which means that exploitation and abuse are ripe. Help for homeless families is scarce and homeless shelters are scarce or nonexistent.
