The controversial $53 million program reportedly provided food to more than 2,600 migrant families in New York City.
New York City announced Thursday it will no longer give migrants prepaid debit cards for food and other supplies.
The city awarded an emergency contract to Mobility Capital Finance at the end of January to launch the program, but will not renew the agreement, the spokesperson said. The contract will end in January 2025. The contract, which was for $53 million, helped the city “redirect” money to the local economy while providing “culturally relevant” food to more than 2,600 migrant families, the spokesperson noted.
