NYC Houses of Worship and Private Residences to Shelter Migrants

The Adams administration in NYC will pay houses of worship to shelter migrants as the city struggles to find room for the hundreds arriving daily. The program will initially involve 50 houses of worship, with room for up to 1,000 migrants. The overnight shelters will be paid $65 per night per migrant, up to $35,500 per month, and the daytime centers will be paid $54,000 a month. The city is also considering paying New Yorkers to house migrants in their private homes.
