The mayor released a statement on Wednesday saying the shelter system needs to be reassessed.
The remarks offered few specifics on exactly what changes would be made around the legal requirement, which has been the foundation of the city’s shelter system for decades. On Wednesday, amid the recent busing of thousands of migrants from southern states to New York, Adams issued a statement saying he would “reassess” the way the city handles shelter requests.
New York City’s nightly shelter population has been steadily climbing in recent months, reaching more than 57,000 people in early September – roughly 10,000 more than the count in May, according to. On Tuesday, the Department of Homeless Services reported 55,727 people in its daily shelter census count, almost 5,700 short of the high in January 2019 under the de Blasio administration.
According to administration officials, the city has handled requests from over 11,000 asylum seekers since May and opened 23 emergency shelters.
