New York City's migrant crisis is expected to cost the city $4.7billion this year. Above is a list of some of the landmarks that have been turned into emergency shelters as officials struggle to house nearly 60,000 migrants in the city's care
Migrant families have been given priority for housing in the city's hotels, leaving tens of thousands to fight for space in shelters or wait on the streets for a solution
New York City migrant crisis will cost the city more than $4billion this fiscal year if the situation continues - as mayor Eric Adams warned the influx of asylum seekers could destroy the city.
Despite mayor Adams' cries for help from the state and federal government, the city has not received aid to cover the extra costs, so the $4.7billion would come from the city's budget. That amount is equal to the budgets for the city's sanitation, fire and parks departments combined.
More
than 110,000 asylum seekers have arrived in the city since the Spring of
2022, with currently over 10,000 arriving every month, and about 1,000
every single day.
