We’ve never paid migrants’ costs before — so why is Eric Adams doing so now?
Opinion by Post Editorial Board • 18h
Mayor Adams must think Gotham needs more illegal migrants: He’s offering them up to $5,000 to leave city-funded shelter for permanent housing — which of course is more incentive to come here in the first place.
No joke: The city’s Department of Homeless Services launched a pilot program in December that grants supposed “asylum-seekers” cash to cover the costs of moving out of a city shelter and into permanent quarters.
Already, 150 families have benefitted, and the city is looking at “scaling up and expanding access” to the funds.
It means up to four grand in cash is to cover security deposits, moving expenses and first and last month’s rent, plus $1,000 more available via gift cards. Sweet!
A city official told The Post she “can’t say” how much the program could eventually spend, since every family is considered on a “case-by-case” basis. (Huh?)
And all this on top of the free shelter housing, food, health care, education, debit cards and other services illegal migrants already get. Pure madness.
