The Mayor's Office is asking New York to open a shelter for 500 asylum-seekers immediately. More than 3,100 asylum seekers arrived in the city last week alone.
Adams submitted an emergency mutual aid request to the state of New York on Friday, asking for a shelter for 500 asylum-seekers to be opened immediately. "Since last spring, the city has stepped up to welcome approximately 40,000 asylum seekers, providing them with shelter, food, and connections to a host of resources. We have opened 74 emergency shelters and four humanitarian relief centers at breakneck speed, and done this almost entirely on our own," Adams said in a statement.
According to Adams, over 3,100 asylum seekers arrived in the city last week, including 835 on last Thursday alone.Mayor Eric Adams joined Good Day New York to discuss a variety of topics, including crime, the migrant crisis and the new COVID variant. "This type of request," Adams continued. "Reserved only for dire emergencies, asks the state for support to shelter arriving asylum seekers as the city faces an immediate need for additional capacity. Our initial request is for shelter to accommodate 500 asylum seekers, but, as New York City continues to see numbers balloon, this estimate will increase as well.
