Other states do not guarantee free housing to migrants. NYS does, but that's by choice.

I don't see why federal funds should go to towards paying for elective services.

If that’s the case, then that’s fair. Just a bad policy

Right to shelter is a blessing in disguise for New York. It allows the government to get a pass and tear down encampments. NY housing 95% of the homeless every night is the reason why New York doesn’t look like SF, LA, Denver, Phoenix, Portland, etc., even with the largest homeless population.

Nys guarantees housing to anybody without housing, just happens to include migrants here
