NYC's Migrant Housing, Rockefeller Tree Arrival, and Veterans Day Events

E11 • Nov 11, 2024 • 9 mins

In this episode, we begin with a welcome and a sponsor message from MagicPod. We then explore New York City's approach to addressing the needs of migrants through shelters and a housing voucher program. The arrival of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree marks the beginning of holiday preparations in the city. We also cover the Veterans Day Parade 2024 and related events happening across NYC, highlighting the city's tribute to veterans. Additionally, we discuss NJ Transit's initiative offering free rides to veterans on Veterans Day. The episode captures the spirit of the season and the city's commitment to honoring its veterans.

Key Points

  • New York City has ceased using two major hotels as migrant shelters due to a decrease in the influx of migrants, while still planning to secure thousands of hotel rooms through 2025.
  • Navigating New York City's housing market with a voucher can be challenging, but resources like Unlock NYC and platforms like Streeteasy can help applicants find suitable housing.
  • The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has arrived, marking the start of the holiday season with a spectacular display, while the city prepares for the 105th annual Veterans Day Parade with significant road closures and events in honor of veterans.
