New York City will soon end a contentious plan aimed at helping migrant families purchase food and other goods, the Adams administration announced.
The program, which started in late March, provided debit cards to some 2,600 migrant families living in hotels so that they can buy food and baby supplies for a combined amount of about $3.2 million. When announced, the participants made up just a fraction of the tens of thousands of migrants residing in city-run shelters.
