NYC seeking 14,000 hotel rooms to shelter migrants through 2025 — as housing costs set to surpass $2.3B

They need more room at the inn.

New York City’s use of hotels as emergency shelters to house migrants will continue for the foreseeable future, The Post has learned, as the Department of Homeless Services is seeking a contract with hotels to provide a total of 14,000 rooms to shelter migrants at least through next year.

The city projects that spending on housing for migrants over the past two years and this fiscal year combined will surpass a staggering $2.3 billion — much of it on rent paid to hotels in the Big Apple.

About 150 hotels are currently sheltering migrants and total spending on migrant services over three years will hit $5.76 billion.

“The taxpayers can’t pay for this indefinitely,” said Nicole Gelinas, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute think tank.

With Mayor Eric Adams under criminal indictment and his administration in disarray, Gelinas said Gov. Kathy Hochul “should take control” of managing the migrant crisis in the city.

She said it’s totally unacceptable that so many hotels in Manhattan’s Midtown and downtown tourists district have been converted to migrant shelters instead of serving the tourism industry.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
How much would it have cost to just complete the frigging wall?

This is just one city, folks.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
Well, if Trump does get elected, we know where all these illegal invaders are residing in New York and a few other cities.  They should be rounded up and deported in one month.  OUT!!!  Of course, if Kamie the Clown wins, the numbers that flooded into the country will be small by comparison to the numbers that cross with her as POTUS.  He allowed 15 million illegal invading aliens, I can see her allowing 30 million to invade illegally.

Figure everything will worsen by a minimum of two fold if she becomes POTUS.

Will Mr. Trump (if he wins) get forced into a situation like Mr. Ford?
