Clergy across New York City are keeping the faith and stepping up to ease the growing strain on the shelter system, agreeing to take in hundreds of asylum seekers as part of a partnership with the city
Pastor Gil Monrose, from the mayor's Office of Faith-Based Partnerships, said that while"some call it a crisis, we call it an opportunity."
"Our shelter gets reimbursed $65 per bed per night," Adlerstein said, saying it stems from a contract with the city. The warehouse at the Queens airport could soon house as many as 1,000 migrants. But there is some push back against the plan. NBC New York's Jessica Cunnington reports.
