The Asylee Moveout Assistance (AMA) pilot program allows 150 families to receive $4000 in assistance for transitioning from city shelters to permanent housing, aiming to alleviate barriers and support asylum seekers in finding stability.
DHS is utilizing existing resources to fund the AMA program, emphasizing their commitment to innovative solutions for the housing challenges faced by recently-arrived asylum seekers.
The pilot program, executed in collaboration with local not-for-profit providers, specifically targets asylum-seeking families who have secured permanent housing, thereby facilitating their move from emergency shelters.
Since its initiation in December, the AMA initiative has positively impacted 150 households, and evaluations are underway to determine its success and potential for expansion to assist more families.
