More than 10,000 migrants have arrived in the city so far this summer -- many of them onboard buses sent from Texas.
Earlier this month, social services commissioners declared it a "humanitarian crisis," while promising the City Council that the needs of the migrants would be met.
"This is an interagency, all hands on deck effort where we will be tapping into our nonprofit providers to ensure asylum seekers have access to wraparound services, including legal support, health care, and education," Commissioner Gary P. Jenkins with the NYC Department of Social Services previously said.Shelters are 99% full every night. So far, the city has pledged to provide nearly $7 million to the outreach organizations that work with the migrants.
