NYC Throws Cash At Housing Crisis, $4K Parting Gift


The NYC Department of Homeless Services decided to play Santa, offering 150 families a $4,000 send-off.

The goal?

Help illegal aliens move from shelters to permanent housing.

I’m sure none of the local citizens have any problem with this, right?

I mean, who really wants an extra $4,000 to help them move?

So far, it’s 150 households reaping the rewards.

Think that will be the last of it, or is this just the beginning?

Fox News reports:

The NYC Department of Homeless Services (DHS) offered 150 families cash assistance through the Asylee Moveout Assistance (AMA), a pilot created in December last year to help find permanent housing for asylum seekers. The pilot was launched in partnership with some city shelters providing services for asylum seekers.

“The city is using every tool at its disposal to implement innovative and cost-effective solutions to help recently-arrived asylum seekers residing in shelters take the next steps in their journey,” a Department of Social Services (DSS) spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

DHS officials in December started dispensing $4000 to 150 households who live in the city’s emergency DHS shelters.

“Since December, DSS has been working with a few not-for-profit providers operating emergency sites to pilot a new effort to reduce barriers to obtaining housing by helping asylum-seeking families who have identified permanent housing with the upfront cost of moving into their new home,” the DSS spokesperson said.

The question is, is it illegal to pretend to be an illegal to get $4000?

Asking for a friend.
