>The agreement is between the New York City Department of Homeless Services and the Hotel Association for as much as $55,000 per migrant, according to The New York Post, which first reported the deal.

For a private room with a private bathroom?

That expensive as fuck, but on an emergency situation, that could've been worse.

In contrast, the city pays on a regular basis (not emergency) practically the same amount every year for each homeless shelter bed packed in a giant room, with shared bathroom facilities and little security and privacy. If you haven't seem how that looks like, do a Google image search.
