It was FURTHER revealed that this guy is not homeless and lives on welfare with an apartment in Brooklyn? that is paid with rent vouchers.
I've read about him and he does an apartment, but it's not in Brooklyn. I read that it's in the Bronx, and it's paid for by a combo of as you've stated Section 8 vouchers , Social Security disability, and Veterans benefits. He also apparently still does have his boots. Well, at least that was the case when reporters last spoke to him last week. He's been diagnosed as being Bi-Polar, and Schizophrenic. Others that know him, and he himself have said that he's been offered help by city agencies, veterans programs, and his own family, but he chooses to stay on the street. It sounds messed up, but he meets the requirements to qualify for those programs. In the link below there are pictures of him wearing his boots.
