Fitzsimmons March 25, 2024 New York City officials are moving ahead with a contentious plan to give migrant families debit cards for food and baby supplies, with the first cards being distributed on Monday to a small handful of new arrivals. The program has faced a backlash over concerns about potential fraud or abuse, and about whether migrants were being given preferential treatment over other people in need. But with 180,000 migrants having entered New York over the last two years and 65,000 still in shelters, the city is struggling with mounting housing and food costs and the administration of Mayor Eric Adams is eager to try a new approach. A family of four is expected to receive up to $350 per week under the program, which will last six weeks, city officials said. The program will begin with 10 families on Monday, expanding to about 115 families, or roughly 450 people, over the next week. Advertisement SKIP ADVERTISEMENT Mayor Adams, a Democrat, has repeatedly defended the program, arguing that it will bring down the costs of feeding migrants, put money back into local businesses and help the city avoid wasting uneaten meals. The city’s deputy mayor for health and human services, Anne Williams-Isom, said in an interview on Monday that she did not understand the outcry over allowing a group of vulnerable people to buy their own food, noting that other programs like cash assistance and food stamps are available to New Yorkers who are not migrants.
