Miley Cyrus cares about the homeless!

Although this is not a swipe at Miley Cyrus's morality to care about the lower class, it is rather surprising to see that she supports any measure taken by government to address the issue. Fans of Miley Cyrus can easily identify her for some of her controversial moves on stage, her tongue wagging, and style of fashion. To back Senator Brad Hoylman's proposal for the funding of housing projects, Ms. Cyrus has since said “These young people are homeless through no fault of their own,” ... “They’ve been kicked out of their homes or are fleeing abusive parents. And too often they’re forced into dangerous situations just to find a place to sleep."



Ms. Cyrus is calling on organizations and lawmakers to speed up processes, as well as provide funding for homeless youths. Miley Cyrus has previously worked with homeless youths in her "Happy Hippie Foundation", so it should come as no surprise to most people. Some of Miley Cyrus statements come as part of the growing issue of Housing in New York City and legislative measures to address homelessness. Communities and elites are calling on Gov. Cuomo and lawmakers to increase funding for housing developments.

NYCHA has reported a steady reduction in its maintenance backlog. But tenants complained that the statistical improvement hadn't translated into better living conditions.

The problem of homelessness in New York City has become a relevant topic to lawmakers who are taking this week to address the concern. Maya Benton a resident of one of the NYCHA houses in Brooklyn describes her experiences of poor housing. In her description she said, "Last night, my heat was out, again. It was so cold I had to keep my oven door open and boil water." Maya Benton is one of the many tenants who drove up to a meeting site in Brooklyn to talk about the problems of NYCHA maintenance.
