New York City will open the city's first asylum-seeker arrival center next week, as hundreds of migrants continue to arrive in the city each day, following the expiration of a pandemic-era border restriction, city officials said.
The center will double as the city's ninth Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center, as officials continue to plea for more state and federal government support in handling what Mayor Eric Adams refers to as a national crisis.
The statement did not indicate exactly when the center would open, but it said"beginning later this week" the Roosevelt Hotel will open 175 rooms for children and families, with the intention of expanding to include more availability at a later date. The mayor said the program will launch with two hotels located in the small hamlets of Orange Lake and Orangeburg. Adams' spokesperson, Fabien Levy, told CNN there is capacity for up to 300 migrants between the two hotels initially, with the potential to"expand."
