Mayor Eric Adams is ending his administration’s controversial program supplying migrants in city shelters with prepaid debit cards to pay for groceries.
The pilot program distributed the preloaded Mastercards to asylum seekers at hotels-turned-shelters with a family of four receiving about $350 a week to cover the cost of groceries and baby supplies.
The city hired New Jersey-based tech startup, Mobility Capital Finance, in a $53 million one-year “emergency” contract that drew backlash when the city failed to conduct a typical bidding process before picking the company.
But with the one year up shortly, the Adams administration decided against renewing the contract, ABC7 reported.

Rioting in NY to begin shortly?
Is Mayor Adams counting on President Trump's promise to begin mass deportations?
The program should never have been started in the first place. It's much harder to end a government give-away than it is to simply never implement it.
This could prove to be a big deal. Ending debit cards, closing hotel shelters, returning NY to the citizens of NY.
This is where we are going to see much strife for a while as this starts to unwind.
No one ever thought it would be easy. Could see all these illegals in DC on inauguration day.
Probably because they know they won’t be reimbursed.
Should never have happened in the first place.
The 4 year National Nightmare is finally coming to an end.
Interesting timing. Now that you’ve lost it’s time to “straighten up and fly right” huh? So suddenly they stop paying what 100,000+ invaders? All at the same time?
True
To think that biden will request immunity for his family from trump to spill the beans on his very own rat compadres
With no EBT card, the illegals will have to depend on charities to feed them. This is how they will self deport, slowly at first and then by the millions.
And that’s going to tear NY apart. It is going to get worse, before it gets better.
They should have given them to the impacted in NC instead.
Unleashing them on Trump II’s America?
“Groceries”
Trump really is inheriting a complete shitshow. God bless President Trump! He’s really the only guy that can get us back on the right, sane path.
A completely dumb ass idea to begin with as was proving housing to illegals.
If you give them nothing, they won’t come.
Looting is still considered reparations, yes?
The whole ebt card should go away back to food stamps. Being on the dole needs to be more public and have some stigma and shame associated with it. Most of us have to work to keep money being deposited in an account connected to the debit card.
Trump effect...
All off these immigrants have just become inconvenient.
Under trump. They are not going to get citizenship. And pump up NY’s numbers for congressional representation, and votes.
Those charities need to be shut down
