He’s obviously just pandering to both sides, but in such a dumb way

  • he’s the one signing off paying for all these extra shelters

  • let’s say it’s deemed that migrants aren’t allowe in NYC homeless shelters. How do you enforce? SSN + photo ids to get a bed in a homeless shelter? What if someone’s ID is from another state? Are we obligated to shelter them?

A quarter to a third of our housed shelter population moved in directly from out of state so clearly out of state as it was pre pandemic and pre migrant caravan.

Do you have a reliable source for this?

Unfortunately I do not have a source outside of resident interviews and intake records that I had to review as part of my past work. I was unable to find place of origin tracking from DHS and a google search only shows that nyp article about one shot deals that blew up and about Puerto Rico sending their homeless here.

25-33% is a pretty sizeable amount, and it would be completely at odds with data available from other "homeless-friendly" jurisdictions like Los Angeles and San Francisco.
