New York City Mayor Eric Adams is asking the state to immediately open a shelter for 500 asylum-seekers, as the city continues to deal with an influx of migrants the mayor says is pushing it “to the brink.”
The request for shelter is likely to expand. Adams said his request for 500 beds is an “initial request” that will expand as the city takes in additional people.
All told, Adams said the city has provided food and shelter to nearly 40,000 asylum-seekers since the spring, opening up 74 shelters and four relief centers along the way. But in his statement on Friday, Adams said the recent wave of arrivals has the city anticipating that it will soon be “unable to continue sheltering arriving asylum-seekers on our own.
“We fully believe that the federal government has an obligation to help the communities that are taking the influx of migrants because of the crisis at the border,” Hochul told reporters in the Bronx on Tuesday. “I have conveyed that to the president.”
