How NYC is Helping Migrants with Pre-Paid Cards

New York City has launched a $53 million pilot program to give pre-paid cards to migrants staying in hotels, instead of providing them with meals they often did not want. The cards can be used to buy food and baby supplies at local bodegas, supermarkets, and delis. The city hopes that this will not only save money, but also empower migrants to choose their own culturally relevant diets and support the local economy. In this video, we will explore the details of this program, such as: How many migrants are eligible and how much money they will receive What are the rules and restrictions for using the cards How the city will monitor and evaluate the program What are the potential benefits and challenges of this initiative How this program fits into the broader context of the migrant crisis and the federal response We will also hear from some of the key players involved in this program, such as Mayor Eric Adams, his spokesperson Kayla Mamelak, and the founder of MoCaFi, the company that is running the program, Wole Coaxum.
