Black migrants in New York experiencing scarcity and inequity, new study says
Black migrants in New York City are likelier than their Latin American counterparts to receive an eviction notice from a city shelter, go without food or lack warm clothing, according to aBlack migrants also faced significant barriers to employment, with 85% stating they lacked job training, compared to 52% for Latin American migrants. Only 7% of Black migrants said they had applied for federal work authorization, compared to 32% for other migrants, according to the findings.
She said more than 65% of the more than 194,200 migrants “who have come through our care since the spring of 2022” had moved out of the city’s sprawling shelter system and taken the “next steps in their journeys.” While 66% of single adults from Latin America received a 30- or 60-day notice to leave a city shelter or reapply, the figure rose to 93% for Black single adults. Just 1 in 20 respondents said they were able to secure stable housing after leaving a shelter.
David Giffen, with the advocacy group Coalition for the Homeless, said in response to the findings, “It’s a shameful response to a humanitarian crisis. I mean, where are people supposed to go, for God’s sake?” According to the report, 68% of the respondents were under 35 and 75% were Latin American, while 21% were Black. Fifty-four percent of respondents traveled to New York with children under the age of 21; however, among Black migrants, that figure was just 12%, as three quarters of them were adults traveling alone.
