Lawyers for the homeless say the Adams administration cleared out the city’s homeless intake office Thursday night in what they say is an improvement, after controversy erupted this week over deteriorating conditions
But during that private meeting Thursday, the administration promised to investigate whether long lines and language barriers have been forcing families to miss the daily deadline to secure a shelter bed, according to a Legal Aid memo sent to senior homeless officials and shared with the News 4 I-Team.
. The mayor's release called for federal help, but made no mention of any forbidden sleepovers in his intake office. Some said their children were hungry and that they needed more food and water than the shelter system was offering. After a Texas church paid his bus fare to Washington, D.C., Mayora says another church offered them a second bus ticket to NYC. He was given an address on East 151st Street. When he first arrived at PATH, he said he thought it was a hotel, but quickly learned otherwise.
When NBC New York asked Mayor Adams why these families would say they were sleeping in the building if they weren’t, he seemed to backpedal. “Human beings drop the ball sometimes,” the mayor said, arguing that failing to house four families was a relatively small error considering his claim that the system has been swamped with as many as 3,000 Central and South American asylum-seekers in the past six weeks.
