State clears way for city to use shuttered Harlem prison as temporary migrant shelter
to find housing for a wave of migrants who have inundated the Big Apple in recent weeks, the mayor’s office confirmed to amNewYork Metro Friday.
“We’re grateful to the state for providing this site and partnering with the city to open this space as a temporary site for asylum seekers as New York City continues to face this humanitarian crisis,” a City Hall spokesperson said in a statement to amNewYork Metro. “We’ve had over 70,000 asylum seekers come through the city’s intake centers since last spring, and, yet, hundreds of asylum seekers continue to arrive in New York City every day,” the spokesperson said. “We continue to need additional financial and operational support from our partners.”
The site will be the latest respite center Adams’ office will be opening, following at least seven others that have come online since the expiration of Title 42. According tothe mayor’s office said the sites are meant to be “like a waiting room,” serving as waystation for migrants while the city finds them longer term housing.
