​The world's homeless population is among the most vulnerable when it comes to COVID-19.

One non-profit ​group in New York ​City says it's seen demand for help quadruple since the start of the pandemic.  

'Backpacks for the Street' ​is stepping up its efforts to support this community -- estimated to number 60-thousand in New York alone...

​But it also wants city officials to do more.
