Understanding the Migrant Situation in New York City: Exploring the Nexus Between Service Providers and the Experiences of Migrants

New York City is presently facing an immigrant crisis unlike any that the city has ever seen. Since 2022, more than 200,000 asylum-seeking migrants were routed to New York City and as of May 30, 2024, over 65,000 migrants are under the care of the city. Sociologist Edwin Grimsley will investigate the challenges migrants face in New York City, focusing on the effectiveness of service providers to address their needs. He will conduct in-depth interviews, surveys, and policy analysis for his study.
