The city is ending the pre-paid debit card program for migrants amid a decrease in shelter residents, which faced criticism for prioritizing migrants over native residents.
Mayor Adams emphasized the initiative's success in reducing food waste and providing culturally sensitive food to migrants, fulfilling its purpose effectively during its implementation.
Adams noted that the program began as an emergency response but was no longer necessary due to a constant decrease in the number of migrants in shelters.
Despite the criticism, Adams indicated that the program helped significantly lower city spending on feeding migrants and addressed some of the challenges in managing food resources.
