Pima County says Federal money planned for next year will not be enough to keep the migrant shelter program going.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Pima County has used Federal money to create a large migrant shelter system. It’s helped the county avoid Border Patrol releasing migrants to the streets. But the County says Federal money planned for next year will not be enough to keep the program going.
The shelter says most of the people stay there just a day or two as they arrange travel to approved sponsor homes in other cities. “There would be unhoused individuals who have no resources, no knowledge about what to do next. No ability to move forward by and large. They cannot get to the families and sponsors who are available to them here in the US. They would simply be unhoused on our streets, very confused and it would become a public safety and health issue.”
If nothing changes, he foresees people in short-term shelters could be released to Tucson streets by the thousands without any help to move on to sponsor homes.
