eric adams’ hotel for migrants money pit in nyc
Eric Adams, the 110th mayor of New York City (NYC), is ramping up spending on migrants as the city is bearing the legal burden to meet the growing needs of new arrivals.
The taxpayers in NYC have already spent $4.3 billion to shelter and provide other services to recent arrivals of migrants. The money will help migrants living in NYC.
The goal is to avoid a repeat of early August, when migrants were left sleeping in streets or outside of police stations. The authorities announced thousands of new beds for migrant families at temporary shelters in NYC.
