NYC migrant crisis costs will crack eye-popping $5 billion on shelters, security and food — amount could double by 2025

New York City has likely surpassed $5 billion in spending on services for migrants — including nearly $2 billion alone on housing the scores of new arrivals flooding into the Big Apple, according to city data.

The eye-popping figures, listed on the city’s online asylum-seeker funding tracker, shows the city overall spent $4.88 billion combined through fiscal years 2023 and ‘24. Based on the rate of spending, the city likely exceeded more than $112 million since the start of the new fiscal year beginning July 1, or will soon, cracking $5 billion.

Mayor Eric Adams’ administration has even projected the cost could double, hitting $10 billion over the three year period ending June 30, 2025.

The money spent so far includes:

• $1.98 billion on housing and rent.
• About $2 billion on services and supplies.
• Nearly $500 million on food and medical costs.
• Another $500 million on IT, administrative and other costs.
