Homeless in New York

The city’s conducting its annual count of the city’s homeless [1].
Started in 2003 in Manhattan only, the count now covers all five boroughs and last years count was nearly 4000 homeless on the streets. Nearly 35,000 live in the city’s shelters.
Bloomy (our dear mayor) wants that 4000 reduced to under 2000 by the time he leaves office in 2009. Think it can be done?
