Did you not notice that you are now the third person who notified me of this? :russ:
I already admitted that I missed that part when the second person asked me this question.
No but I figured after the fact.

New tent cities could pop up in NYC as mayor removes homeless migrants from shelters

Claire Thornton USA TODAY

The mayor of the nation's largest city and some of his most vocal critics agree on one thing: More homeless migrants will soon be sleeping on the streets of New York City, in subway cars and in other places unfit for human habitation. Since last spring, more than 125,000 migrants from other countries have arrived in New York and about half of them are in shelters, according to Mayor Eric Adams. Many were bused from the southern U.S. border by Republican governors and may not have connections in the city, immigrant advocates said. The flood of asylum seekers, along with a housing affordability and homelessness crisis decades in the making, are causing the city's shelter system to push past capacity, city officials and nonprofit staff say. "I want to be honest with New Yorkers: You're going to see the visual of running out of room," Adams said in October. "It's not if, it's when. People are going to be sleeping on our streets." Since July, 21,000 vacate notices have been issued to migrants in shelters − including families with children − because there's no more space, according to the mayor's office. Individual migrants get 30-day notices to leave shelters, and migrant families get 60-day notices. As summer turned to fall, and as fall has progressed, implementation of the policy has ramped up. The new time limits on shelter stays break more than 40 years of a unique right to shelter in the city that policymakers and homeless advocates have long championed because it saves lives, they said. Among migrants who have already received notices, 8,400 have notices that have expired, meaning their 30 or 60 days are up and they must leave the shelter, return to the migrant intake center and ask for another shelter room, which isn't guaranteed.

That process has already led to confusion and chaos, with some people thinking they would have to exit the shelter system for the streets, housing advocates told USA TODAY. Most people who reached the end of their time limit haven't returned to shelters, according to the mayor's office, and migrants without work authorizations won't be able to afford rent on their own. New York City's sprawling shelter system meant the city's enormous homeless population was mostly indoors for years, somewhat hidden from the public and given much-needed shelter in dangerous weather conditions. Now, advocates are warning that could start to change quickly, just as winter descends on the Northeast. “People will be on the street. For the first time in almost 50 years, we will see children on the street. It is simply not acceptable," said Christine Quinn, CEO of the homeless shelter Win NYC and former speaker of the New York City Council.

New York City is 'too full'

Nonprofit staff and housing lawyers who spoke with USA TODAY said New York City officials have also been offering plane tickets to migrants who want to leave and settle elsewhere in the U.S.
Last month, the Adams administration said social workers are tasked with asking migrants where they want to go and what they want to do in the U.S. so they can try to help them accomplish their goals. Laura Sumajjan, a mother of three from Colombia, was offered a ticket to Mississippi, she told USA TODAY. But she declined to leave New York City because she doesn't know anyone anywhere else and her kids are enrolled in school there. Her family has not yet received a 60-day notice to leave their shelter, but she has been learning about the new policy through social media and the news. She said social workers didn't ask her what she wanted before offering her a chance to relocate again to Mississippi. They've also floated other, less-populated states, she said. "They said New York is too full," Sumajjan, 28, said in an interview in Spanish. "They haven’t asked me, it’s where they can offer help, not where we want to be." Sumajjan came to the U.S. a year and a half ago, traversing through three Mexican cities before crossing the border near Mexicali and arriving in New York City via Ohio. She said she did it for her children, whom she wanted to have an American education. “Everyone deserves opportunities,” she said.



how does a non-citizen who pays no taxes get to dictate which schools her kids will or will not attend? :dahell:

Great , now desmoine Iowa and beloxi Mississippi have the exact same problem NYC does. This is no better than desantis' plan:skip:


Every city in this country has a homeless crisis. If we cannot take care of our own homeless, even migrantless cities will run out of resources, cause migrants are inherently homeless people and use the same resources.

they are actually worse. homeless people in theory could potentially get a job. migrants just use resources, don't pay taxes, and they aren't even allowed to work until they get their day in court in like 5 years. I guess we supposed to just foot the bill for years of living expenses right :aicmon:
