NEW YORK CITY -- New York City Mayor Eric Adams is calling for federal resources to assist with arriving asylum seekers, two days after Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser also called for more federal resources to help the city provide resources for migrants she said are"being tricked" into boarding buses to DC from Texas and Arizona.
The statement says the city is working with the federal government to try to provide support for those arriving. "Let's be clear: the growing shelter census crisis squarely falls at the mayor's feet, and asylum seekers shouldn't shoulder the blame for this," the organizations said in a joint statement.
"The Street Homeless Advocacy Project is another step in the right direction when it comes to helping our brothers and sisters experiencing homelessness," Adams said."Since we started this work, we've made great strides, and I know we can do better. It won't be easy, but we can no longer just walk by and pretend this is someone else's problem. We have a moral duty to try to break this cycle of neglect and despair.
