New York City migrant housing crisis

The New York City migrant housing crisis is a migrant crisis exacerbated by the existing New York City housing shortage, that began in April 2022. It has been driven by the Venezuelan refugee crisis, and to a lesser extent that from Haiti and other countries.[1]

Texas Governor Greg Abbott's Operation Lone Star has involved a form of coercive migration diplomacy, busing migrants from the Mexican border, initiated after the CDC announced rescinding of Title 42 expulsions on April 1, 2022. The Texas free busing does not constitute the majority of recent migrants, but it does account for many of the highest-need cases.[2] The crisis has strained the city shelter system,[3] and sparked controversy around temporary new shelters,[4] as Mayor Eric Adams has sought to modify the 1981 consent decree for Callahan v. Carey.[5][6][7] Temporary protected status for Venezuelans, facilitating work permits with a goal of reducing dependency, was extended by President Biden in September 2023, after strong lobbying by New York political leaders.[8]
