NYC Mayor Eric Adams Announces End To NYC Food Vouchers For Illegal Immigrants
Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ office announced Thursday that New York City will stop providing food vouchers to migrants, CBS News New York reported.NYC will phase out a program that gives prepaid debit cards to migrant families in city-funded hotels to purchase their own meals and essentials, according to CBS News New York. The program will provide migrant families with debit cards until the end of the year. After that, the city will deliver food directly to migrants.
“As we move towards more competitive contracting for asylum seeker programs, we have chosen not to renew the emergency contract for this pilot program once the one-year term concludes. For over two years, we have provided care to more than 222,000 migrants while saving $2 billion in asylum seeker-related costs,” Adams said in a statement.
“We will continue to implement and learn from innovative pilot programs like the immediate response cards program as we care for hundreds of new arrivals every week.”
Since its inception in late March, the city has handed out prepaid debit cards totaling $3.2 million to approximately 2,600 migrant families, Eyewitness stated. Each card, distributed through the intake center at the Roosevelt Hotel, provided a family of four roughly $350 weekly for shopping locally.
