AIANY, NY Building Congress, CHIP & STA Letter to the NY Congressional Delegation on Federal Aid for New York for the Asylum Crisis

AIANY, New York Building Congress, Community Housing Improvement Program, and Subcontractors Trade Association letter to the New York Congressional Delegation urging immediate action to assist New York with federal aid to address the current asylum seeker crisis. The financial burden on the City to support the unprecedented increase in migrants has led Mayor Adams to call for agency budget cuts of 15% by Fiscal Year 2025. These cuts will further exacerbate the challenges felt by agencies due to existing staffing shortages. Federal aid is critical for the economic well-being of NYC and to prevent other services from suffering as a result of the costly asylum crisis.
