New York City Migrant Housing Crisis
The New York City migrant housing crisis is a migrant crisis exacerbated by the existing New York City housing shortage, that began in April 2022. It has been driven by the Venezuelan refugee crisis, and to a lesser extent that from Haiti and other countries. New York City is a sanctuary city. Texas Governor Greg Abbott's Operation Lone Star has seen the busing of migrants from the USA-Mexico border to sanctuary cities across the USA, initiated after the CDC announced rescinding of Title 42 expulsions on April 1, 2022. The Texas free busing does not constitute the majority of recent migrants, but it does account for many of the highest-need cases. The crisis has strained the city shelter system, and sparked controversy around temporary new shelters, as Mayor Eric Adams has sought to modify the 1981 consent decree for ''Callahan v. Carey''. Temporary protected status for Venezuelans, facilitating work permits with a goal of reducing dependency, was extended by President Biden i ...

Migrant Crisis
Migrant crisis is the intense difficulty, trouble, or danger situation in the receiving state (destination country) due to the movements of large groups of immigrants (displaced people, refugee or asylum seeker) escaping from the conditions (natural or refugees as weapons, artificially created) which negatively affected their situation (security, economic, political or societal) at the country of origin (departure). The "crisis" situation is not the refugee numbers (number of migrants seeking protection) but the system's failure to respond in an orderly way to the government's legal obligations. Some notable crises are; European migrant crisis, English Channel migrant crisis and World War II evacuation and expulsion. A refugee crisis refers to a movement of "large" groups of displaced people, and may or may not involve a migrant crisis.

Housing In New York City
Housing, or more generally, living spaces, refers to the construction and assigned usage of houses or buildings individually or collectively, for the purpose of shelter. Housing ensures that members of society have a place to live, whether it is a home or some other kind of dwelling, lodging or shelter. Many governments have one or more housing authorities, sometimes also called a housing ministry or housing department. Housing in many different areas consists of public, social and private housing.

Martha's Vineyard Migrant Airlift
On September 14, 2022, Florida governor Ron DeSantis sent approximately 50 primarily Venezuelan asylum seekers by air from San Antonio, Texas, to the island of Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts. The incident and ones like it have caused a partisan divide across the US. President Joe Biden and other Democrats called it "a political stunt and inhumane", while Republicans such as Mitch McConnell "thought it was a good idea". Background Since April 2022, as a protest against President Joe Biden's actions and policies on US illegal immigration, Texas governor Greg Abbott and Arizona governor Doug Ducey have sent buses of refuge seekers to northern United States cities with a large presence of Democratic Party supporters. According to DeSantis, the flights he arranged were to expose "liberal hypocrisy", because people in Democratic northern cites "were so proud to be sanctuary jurisdictions", and when migrants arrived "they all of a sudden go berserk".

New York City Housing Shortage
For many decades, the New York metropolitan area has suffered from an increasing shortage of housing. As a result, New York City has the highest rents of any city in the United States. Shortage has long been usual. World War I and World War II left housing shortages that persisted in peacetime. Decades later, according to the Plan for New York City of 1969, "It is obvious that a great deal is wrong. The air is polluted. The streets are dirty and choked. The subways are jammed. The waters of the rivers and bays are fouled. There is a severe shortage of housing." Since the middle 1990s construction has greatly increased in the city. Between 2009 and 2018, according to the New York City Comptroller, New York gained 500,000 new residents, but built only 100,000 new housing units. Mayor Bill de Blasio has described the affordability of housing as "the biggest crisis facing our city".
