In one of the wealthiest cities on Earth, thousands of people are living in cars, vans, and RVs — not because they are unemployed, but because New York’s housing market has made stable shelter mathematically impossible for working people. Median rents have crossed $3,500 a month. Wages haven’t kept up. And the gap between what the city pays and what it costs to live here has grown so wide that even full-time work is no longer a guarantee of a roof over your head. In this documentary, we go beyond the surface of New York’s growing vehicle homelessness crisis. We break down the real numbers, the broken systems, the failed policies, and the human cost of a housing shortage that is hiding in plain sight on the streets of the city every single day. This is not just a New York story. It is a warning for the entire country.
