In this October 9, 2015 file photo, a homeless man holds a sign asking for money while sitting at the entrance to a subway station in New York. New York City plans to deploy hundreds of outreach workers who will canvass much of Manhattan every day with a deceptively simple goal: talk to as many homeless people as possible, as often as possible. Through frequent contact, the city hopes to persuade the chronic homeless, even those living on the street for years, to go to shelters. (Photo by Mark Lennihan/AP Photo)
