Sharing is Caring!

New York City has indeed launched a pilot program to help 150 migrant families move out of overcrowded shelters by providing them with up to $4,000 each. This initiative is part of the Asylee Movement Assistance pilot program, which aims to assist asylum-seeking families, particularly those with pregnant women, who have already secured new housing.
