According to reports, the state of Michigan is promoting a scheme that pays residents $500 a month to welcome migrants.
Under the Newcomer Rental Subsidy scheme, “refugees” will be able to find housing outside of governmental facilities. Homeowners would be eligible for the help for a maximum of one year, according to MLive.com.
The state lists the following groups as qualifying: refugees, asylees, holders of special immigrant visas, victims of human trafficking, citizens of Cuba and Haiti, Afghans, and Ukrainians on humanitarian parole.
On March 21, 2024, hundreds of foreigners who had set up camp near the border knocked down the fence using sticks, hands, and whatever tools they possessed, covered the spikes with blankets, and crossed into the United States through Gate 36 in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.

People who entered under the Family Reunification Parole Process for El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Colombia, people whose asylum application is still ongoing, and other immigrant people on a case-by-case basis are also eligible.
The Michigan State Housing Development Authority’s executive director, Amy Hovey, asserted that the initiative will assist immigrants in “building a new life here.”
In a statement released at the program’s first announcement, Hovey remarked, “This program is really a win-win, since it tackles the most pressing obstacle to refugee resettlement by fulfilling housing requirements while setting up families for success with improved employment and opportunity.”
$4 million from the state-funded Michigan Housing and Community Development Fund is going toward the initiative.
With over 700 arrivals in 2022 alone, Michigan emerged as the ultimate destination for migrants from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, Sudan, Burma, and Ukraine.
There are other places than Michigan that pay homeowners to house immigrants.
To save the City of Detroit, which has been drowning in the costs of sheltering Joe Biden’s illegals, politicians and activists in Denver started urging locals to take in migrants in December.
