STATEMENT: “We are urging the Adams Admin. to designate respite and relief centers as shelters & shift its focus from creating more temporary housing to one that prioritizes permanent housing for more NYers stuck in our shelter system using CityFHEPS vouchers.” @MooreProgress
“The (shelter) system has always been broken, & we’ve been advising the city to stop doubling and tripling down into the broken system and invest in solutions like getting people out of the shelter system and into permanent housing,” @HeyItsMurad . spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny…
On the 1year anniversary of TX busing folks to NYC, @thenyic led a community resource and services fair in partnership with @LincolnCenter & our members to connect our newest NY’ers to the supports they need. #WelcomingNY #ChooseWelcome #ImmigrantNY
Who did you provide a $432 million no-bid contract to @NYCMayor? Threats, lies & forced moves? These migrants need our help not further trauma!
Migrants bussed to Albany under a no-bid $432m contract say they were misled, lied to and threatened: “I’m gonna beat the fuck out of him,” a hired guard said as he approached a Venezuelan migrant. Pointing at him, he said, “I swear when I catch you!” nytimes.com/2023/07/30/nyr…
NYC Needs to Do Better: “More than 1,500 asylum seekers have been sent to places as far as Buffalo…But many of them have been greeted by protests at their new homes, as well as mistreatment and the false hope of jobs.” #WelcomingNY via @nytimes nytimes.com/2023/07/30/nyr…
