Times Square is unlike any other place in the United States. Lights, traffic, noise, masses of people. But in the midst of all this commotion, I spotted a man pushing a buggy. That's when I met Guy.

Guy says homelessness is hard to explain. One day he was doing fine. The next, tragedy struck and he was on the streets.

The streets, Guy said, are not kind to those without a home. He said the police in New York arrest people just for sleeping. His goal is to "get inside" before homelessness gets worse.
