Shelter System Reforms
During the Koch Administration in 1986, the mayor implemented a housing initiative called “Housing New York,” which created 150,000 affordable apartments citywide, with at least 15,000 apartments targeted to homeless households (1). The number of homeless families dropped from 5,100 to 3,600 families, a 29 percent decline, from 1988 through 1990.
When David Dinkins became the mayor in 1990, he adopted a liberal approach in treating homelessness. He called for creating transitional apartments and permanent housing, as well as specialized services for the homeless people living with disabilities and special needs.

I'm sure that explained part of it, but from my understanding the NYC homeless were overwhelmingly older single men. Now that I think of it, the harsh elements (eg NYC winters) combined with their poor health from being homeless probably killed a lot of them off eventually.
They gave corporations big tax breaks while they all left for cheaper labor & no regulations in China then turned around & blamed China
