Facing a migrant crisis DIRECTLY can change your perspective QUICKLY
On Wednesday, October 11th, NY Governor Hochul backed NYC’s court challenge to temporarily suspend the so-called “right to shelter”, a unique legal mandate that obliges the city to offer emergency housing to homeless individuals. Hochul emphasized that the mandate was not originally intended to address an international humanitarian crisis [IT’S MUCH EASIER TO LEAVE SOUTHERN STATES ADDRESS CRISES ALONE].This move comes as the city’s shelter system is facing overwhelming strain due to a substantial influx of migrants.
The city has been actively working to roll back the “right to shelter” rule, a policy that has been in place for over four decades. This policy stems from a legal agreement that mandates the city to provide temporary housing for all homeless individuals, a requirement unlike any other in major American cities. The recent surge of over 120,000 migrants without housing or employment has necessitated the creation of emergency shelters and the provision of various government services, with an estimated cost of approximately $12 billion in the coming years.
