Homeless immigrants without legal status can often linger in city shelters for years. That's because they don't qualify for many of the housing subsidies that are used to move people out, leaving them in an indefinite limbo.
The Park Avenue shelter is specifically for homeless women over the age of 45. It holds 84 women...up to 13 percent are undocumented and none are pressured to go back to their homelands unless they want to and it's a good viable option.
The city's Department of Homeless Services says it doesn't track immigration status so it doesn't know how many undocumented immigrants are in its system.

The Department of Homeless Services is filled with liars and lazy bitches who don't care about anything except their cushy jobs. I bet those illegals are treated better than the Americans and DHS probably knows it.
The City must begin tracking undocumented folks and bill the Fed instead of the citizens who have not approved of these policies to pay for illegals. They should be arrested and sent home via their consulate.
It cost taxpayers more to process and deport than pay for a housing subsidy. Seriously, I have thought this before-I'm not checking this site anymore it has become some crazy conspiracy anti-immigrant tirade space. The comments suck after every article. Who cares about your book when you refer to people as "lazy bitches?" Is that what you call everybody who works in the public sector? Or anybody who disagrees with you?
Legalizing the illegals wouldn't just cost a few million in housing subsidies. As it is now, they put strain the public schools, transportation, plumbing, electricity, health care. Since many of them also steal people's identities making them eligible for food stamps, WIC, welfare, etc., they are costing us a bundle.
They need to take a headcount of all the illegals in the program and deport them. Illegals should not be entitled to these services that Americans should receive. They are draining the system and taxpayers are tired of paying for them.
Why should the local governemnts (city and state) pay for these illegals? If the Federal Government refuses to secure our borders and let everyone in, then the Feds should pick up the tab for these criminals, not the taxpayers. It seems to me that the Federal Government encourages the illegals to come and want them here. If this is the case, they should pay for them too. Another alternative is to deduct their medical care and housing from the Foreign Aid that their countries receive.
yes, I DO call people who work in the public sector lazy bitches. I have seen it over and over. You must work there or you would stay on topic - ILLEGALS IN SHELTERS. You are really a bully, aren't you?
the DHS is full of crap. if that's true about illegal aliens not getting housing subsidies what about all the Dominican drug dealers, prostitutes, thieves and loan sharks with section 8 vouchers, city jobs and SBA loans and grants?
refugees are a protected catagory eligible for section 8 vouchers.
give them all a one way ticket home! & yes they are treated better than homeless Americans. this article is crap, meant for us to feel sympathy for them, they are different, special and more deserving than poor Americans.
What amazes me the most is that illegal bitch not only has been breaking our laws, draining our resources and gets a brand new apartment but she can't even speak fucking EGLISH..... She has been living in a homeless shelter for 9 years and had lived as a nanny in a few places. Ya think she would've learned some ENGLISH along her way?

IMMIGRANTS ARE PEOPLE WHO COME HERE LEGALLY!!! I have no problem with IMMIGRANTS:) I HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH ILLEGALS!!! DO YOU EVEN KNOW THE DIFFERENCE? Seriously do you? I don't think anyone here is Anti- Immigrant, Hell half of my ancestors were Immigrants:) But I'm sick and tired of what has happened to America in the last 20 yrs. I'm disgusted at whats happened in my COMMUNITY:( COME HERE LEGALLY,OBEY OUR LAWS OR GET THE HELL OUT:) SIMPLE ISN'T IT:)
"Why go home?" Indeed. With ZERO incentive to obtain "legal status", with ZERO incentive to work, and ZERO chance of being deported, it's a surprise to me to discover that the entire Dominican Republic, as well as the rest of the world hasn't moved to NYC.
Ana Santos says in the article "I felt calmer once I went into shelter, because I felt I was stable there until God helped me find an apartment." In addition to thanking God, you ought to thank the middle class citizens of the City of New York who paid for it all.

when is God going to give me that subsidized apartment? I'm an American. none of the politicians want to help the average American, poor, middle class, what ever or me. that's what is so disgusting.
I voted for them and I am nothing because I don't have the illegal immigrant lobby working for me in Albany and Wash, DC.
The government is so stupid. If they deported all the illegals who are sucking off the taxpayers, the states would be in good fiscal condition. Imagine a world with no food stamps, free medical, free housing and jobs for Americans. These services should only be for Americans and LEGAL immigrants. Let Mexico, China, India and all the other governments deal with their own people. We have our own problems. We don't need theirs.

I wrote about that agency in my book.

No, it seems you haven't thought this out at all.
