According to reports as of October 2023, Brunswick, Maine, is providing newly constructed, fully furnished apartments to migrants, with rent and utilities covered for up to two years through taxpayer funding. These apartments, which reportedly cost American residents around $1,800 per month for a one-bedroom and $2,300 for a two-bedroom, are being offered to migrants rent-free. The county is said to have received $6.1 million in funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) program that has allocated $1 billion toward housing migrants. This initiative comes amid concerns over a housing crisis affecting American citizens.
