Mayor Touts Latest—Lower—Cost Estimate For Sheltering New Immigrant Arrivals
“Instead of 100,000 migrants by mid-2024, we expect to care for 80,000 by June and 90,000 by the end of the year,” Mayor Eric Adams said while unveiling his budget last week. But some expressed concern that the mayor is celebrating the cost benefit of reducing the shelter census by way of 30- and 60-day eviction notices.
