One woman navigates a decade on the street — and life after

WNYC News | Dec 13, 2024

More than 4,000 people sleep on the streets in New York City every evening, even on the coldest nights, according to the latest New York City data. For years, Cynthia English was one of those people.  

English lived on the street for 10 years before finding her way into stable housing. She joined WNYC's Michael Hill to reflect on her life then and now.
