New York City is spending on average $387 each day on every migrant household in taxpayer-funded shelters despite efforts from Eric Adams to slash expenditure.
The $387 is the ‘cumulative per diem’ – which is the average amount spent on a migrant household, including providing them shelter and food, every day since the crisis began in Spring 2022.
February’s average was down $5 from the reported expenditure in October 2023, when around 65,400 migrants were in shelters.
The number has been gradually going down every month since October and is projected to stay on a declining trajectory.
Based on the average US household containing 2.5 people, there are 26,100 households in the Big Apple’s migrant shelters.
This forecasts over $10.12 million per day being spent on migrants in the city.
