Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s administration is offering residents $500 a month to house migrants — dubbed “newcomers” — in the state.
“The Newcomer Rental Subsidy program provides Refugees and other Newcomer population-eligible households with rental assistance up to $500 per month for up to 12 months, with eligibility based on immigration status and household income,” the Office of Global Michigan said on its site, as first reported by Dave Bondy Digital.
“Many refugees and other newcomers face critical housing challenges, and this program will increase access to better and more affordable housing opportunities while supporting a more rapid social integration to refugees and other newcomer populations to Michigan.”

And immediately give them squatters rights?
Negatory.

Right
I hope the good people in Michigan don’t get suckered into this and believe that if they house them for the money that it’s going to be temporary

Seriously? $500 doesn't buy jack these days. It's a trip to the grocery store (without EBT).
The Socialists are really out of touch.

$500/month to give your house to squatters is a bum deal. Good luck getting them out of the house. Migrant squatters will have more rights than property owners.
