The Adams administration has inked a nearly $1 billion contract with the hotel industry for emergency shelter space — despite boasting that the migrant crisis is tapering off, The Post has learned.

Taxpayers are on the hook for the $929.1 million reupped with the Hotel Association of New York City Foundation as the total city population still includes a whopping 86,000 people, including homeless individuals and asylum seekers.

Gee, the money is being filtered through a Foundation, so it must all be on the up-and-up, with only people of good intentions involved.

“””Prime grounds for ICE.”””

Perhaps there is a coffee shop across the street where a bunch of ICE agents just happen to gather every day, all day.

It’s not all about the so-called immigrants. It’s graft.
