NYC Mayor Eric Adams and Migrants sit in a queue outside of The Roosevelt Hotel that is being used by the city as temporary housing, Monday, July 31, 2023, in New York .New York City Mayor Eric Adams and other city officials have considered handing out tents and creating encampments throughout the city to accommodate newly arriving migrants, The Wall Street Journalsaying its resources “have been exhausted.
Though the city has assembled large tents to accommodate migrants in the past, its new proposal would create “campsites” for migrants. Adams said at a press conference that between issuing tents and seeing a rise in homelessness, the plan is the lesser of two evils.“It’s not ‘if’ people will be sleeping on the streets, it’s when. We are at full capacity,” Adams said. “We have to sort of localize it as much as possible.
Murad Awawdeh, executive director of the New York Immigration Coalition, slammed Adams for the idea, calling it absurd. “It’s absurd that the Adams administration would rather pursue dangerous ideas like street tent encampments, when he could be alleviating pressure on our shelter system by getting more New Yorkers into permanent housing,” Awawdeh said.The migrant crisis coincides with a worsening reputation for Adams among his constituents.
