NYC pursuing thousands of hotel rooms to house migrants amid multibillion-dollar costs: report

The city of New York needs 14,000 beds for migrants next year, according to a report, as the city continues to grapple with the migrant crisis.

The Post reported that spending on housing over a three-year period will surpass $2.3 billion, with most of that spent on rent for hotels. Spending on the migrant crisis is expected exceed $5 billion, and Mayor Eric Adams has previously said costs could balloon to over $10 billion by the end of next fiscal year. Previous estimates had put that number even higher. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
