Michigan Offers Homeowners $500 a Month to House ‘Newcomers’

The state of Michigan is reportedly pushing a program offering citizens $500 a month to take in migrants.

The program, called the Newcomer Rental Subsidy, is set to provide shelter outside state shelters for “refugees.”

The assistance would be available to homeowners for up to a year, according to MLive.com.

According to the state, those eligible include, refugees, asylees, special immigration visa holders, victims of human trafficking, Cuban and Haitian entrants, Afghan nationals, and Ukrainian humanitarian parolees.

Others who qualify include individuals who arrived under the Family Reunification Parole Process for El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Colombia, individuals with a pending asylum application, and other immigrant individuals on a case-by-case basis.

Amy Hovey, executive director of the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, claimed the program would help migrants “build a new life here.”

“This program is truly a win-win, as it addresses the most pressing barrier to refugee resettlement by meeting housing needs while setting up families for success with increased employment and opportunity,” Hovey said in a statement issued when the program was first revealed.

The program is being paid for with $4 million from the state-funded Michigan Housing and Community Development Fund

Michigan became the final destination of migrants from Democratic Republic of Congo, Syria, Sudan, Burma, and Ukraine, taking in more than 700 in 2022 alone.

Michigan is not the only locale offering homeowners cash to take in migrants.

In December, officials and activists in Denver began calling for local citizens to take in migrants to get them off the hands of the City of Detroit, which has been drowning in the costs of housing Joe Biden’s illegals.
 
You know, I don't really have a problem with this. States can spend on whatever they want. Nobody is forcing you to live in Michigan and nobody is forcing homeowners to take these people in.

Now if the Federal government starts doing this, I am opposed.

Redistribution of wealth is not ok at the Fed level, but it is acceptable at the state?

What if I don’t want to move out of Pennsylvania, just because they choose to do it in Philadelphia, which is clear across the other side of the state?
 
Looks like an opportunity for someone to make a tidy little profit. Just put up one of those “tent city” like old Joe Arpaio did out in AZ, hire some private security and watch the ill-gotten gains roll in!
 
The legacy of Rick Snyder continues. I remember during his 2010 campaign, trying to convince Republicans that he's not some savior. His massive failures resulted in Whitmer and company getting into power. Once in, they quickly consolidated power. That was made even easier by the Republican legislature completely abdicating their responsibility of oversight. They're not giving up power now. Hell, Whitmer supposedly won in rural, traditional Republican counties this last election. I guess genocide is very popular there.

Well, yes that is how our government was set up.
