permanent housing. the $10 million plan is expected to provide aid to as many as 1,000 adults. rental subsidies will be available to tenants facing evictions and those who have timed out of homeless shelters. it's unclear whether or not the plan will help people already living on the streets. >> the landlords were very upset with mayor bloomberg for ending this plan. >> reporter: this man is with the manhattan institute. he believes landlords will participate in the program. he says many were upset when mayor bloomberg decided to end a similar subsidy program in 2011. the cap is 1,200 a month for a single adult. >> 1,200 may not seem like much for a manhattan apartment, but for a single room with a kitchenette in an outer borough, it's pretty good money, especially if you're a landlord with a crummy building that is poorly maintained. so the landlords did like this program and many have grown very rich on it. >> reporter: the coalition for the homeless believes the

mayor's initiative is a step in the right direction. >> we're really, you know, optimistic this will -- these measures will have a similar effect for single adults who the population has not decreased in a similar way and has not had the same focus recently. >> reporter: as of this month, approximately 17,000 people were living in city shelters. as for the number of those living on the streets, the number is estimated to be in the thousands. dari: wow. thank you. august is ending, but the heat is still hanging out. steve: that's right. 5:04 p.m. 91 right now. that's the deal the rest of the week. nick: we will stay in the low 90s as we head into september. with this high today, that moves august into the third position as far as hottest augusts on record. as we go back to 1869. it will be another 90-plus degree tomorrow. 90 at islip. jersey shore at 90. 88 sussex. cooler monticello. for them, 82. that's warm. 87 at montauk.
