A spokesperson for Mayor Eric Adams’s office said it will not renew the “immediate response cards pilot program,” according to. The program directed funds toward migrant families in the city’s Housing Preservation and Development system that were living in hotels. “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,” CBS New York quoted the spokesperson as saying.
“Thanks to our resettlement efforts, intensive case management, and national-leading Asylum Application Help Center, more than 160,000 migrants have left our shelter system and taken their next steps towards self-sufficiency,” the statement reads, according to CBS New York.
