Summary
This bill would require the commissioner of social services or another commissioner designated by the mayor to submit monthly to the mayor and speaker of the council six reports related to the asylum seeker population arriving in the City: a report on expenses, a report on active contracts, a report on temporary housing, a report on the status of immigration applications submitted with the office of asylum seekers operations, a report on immigration application appointments scheduled with the office of asylum seekers operations, and a report on the demographics of asylum seekers. The bill would also require the commissioner of social services or another commissioner designated by the mayor to submit retroactive reports, to the extent practicable, for all reports except the report on the demographics of asylum seekers. Finally, the bill would require agencies to use budget codes starting with the letter “M” for all funding associated with the response to asylum seeker arrivals.
