Private companies are pitching in millions of dollars to help the homeless, and to help their businesses deal with the homeless

That means if a homeless person is camping out in a restaurant or retail establishment, or lying on the ground at a private plaza on Park Avenue or Metrotech, outreach workers are not authorized to approach them.

"We raised this money in eight weeks because businesses have had their employees complaining to them about their own fears, and also concerns about what's happening to homeless people," Wylde said in an interview with NBC New York, adding that businesses don't want to be in the position where their only option is to call police."Our member companies have a million employees in the city and they have felt helpless in the face of terrible conditions and people suffering.

Wylde acknowledges that the homeless presence in ATMs and food establishments has been one of several factors resulting in businesses closing up shop. She also said a survey of the group's members showed that street homelessness was a main reason why people aren't coming back to the office.
