3. I think they are trying to target the cities with the highest numbers

(per capita) of unsheltered. There was a HUD survey that came out in March and a list of cities here - https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/slideshows/cities-with-the-largest-homeless-populations-in-the-u-s?onepage

I didn't see NYC on this initiative's list but that could be because they might not have had all the partnerships set up and perhaps wanted to go with this to see how it pans out before tackling the largest city in the nation.

But just as a note, every city dweller will tell you (and this is certainly the case here in Philly) that "the media" will declare that their city is - "the worst in the whole wide world and even the worst in the entire universe!!11!1!!!!!). I know I am sick of hearing that bullshit here.
