NY loads millions onto migrant debit-cards — as no-bid vendor rakes in a fortune
In June, I reported that after months of inactivity, City Hall had loaded up its migrant cash-debit cards with another nearly $1.1 million in taxpayer money.
Days later, the Adams administration confirmed it: Gotham taxpayers will spend $2.6 million through the end of the year to add 7,300 families to the existing program, which has served about 900 families since March.
The city considers that “pilot” successful — but still hasn’t released a whiff of data to prove it.
Even if you think it’s a good idea to try giving migrants cash cards instead of direct aid for meals and other basics, the way Mayor Eric Adams has gone about it is not the way to do it.
In January, the city inked a no-bid, one-year deal with MoCaFi, a company co-founded by an Adams supporter, to distribute a potentially open-ended amount of money — “above $150 million” — to migrants staying at city hotels.
