The Asylee Moveout Assistance program targets asylum-seeking families and pregnant women living in emergency shelters to cover moving expenses and security deposits.
The program was launched to help asylum-seekers transition to permanent housing due to their ineligibility for other city grant programs for shelter residents.
Funding for the program comes from existing contracts with nonprofit shelter operators, allowing grants to be paid directly to landlords and moving companies.
The city is committed to using innovative solutions to support recently arrived asylum-seekers who lack access to most federal rehousing assistance.
