81% Informative
New York City will no longer issue vouchers to migrants to pay for food, ending controversial program.
Pilot program distributed debit cards to migrant families staying in city-funded hotels.
The program was initially conceived as a way to save money by no longer buying food the asylum seekers didn't want to eat.
City estimates it cost half as much as boxed-meal delivery service it replaced.
