Migrants in NYC Seek Refuge in Manhattan Hotels Amidst Struggles.

New York City has converted about 100 hotels and other facilities into temporary housing for some of the 50,000 migrants who have arrived on buses from the southern border since last spring. The effort may ultimately cost as much as $4 billion over the next two years and could result in cuts to city services, the mayor has warned. The majority of shelter operations in hotels around the city are run by nonprofits contracted by the Department of Homeless Services. But a handful of the newest ones, including four in Midtown, are being run directly by the public health care system, NYC Health & Hospitals, with support from the city’s Emergency Management office and other agencies.
