Mayor Eric Adams asked residents to welcome the tens of thousands of migrants pouring into the five boroughs, and even suggested the idea of paying homeowners and landlords to house them, the New York Post first reported.the creation of a two-year partnership with New York Disaster Interfaith Services that allows up to 50 houses of worship or faith-based spaces to offer overnight shelter for up to 19 single adult men at each location.
The mayor said partnerships with faith-based organizations have played a critical role in the city’s response to migrants being dropped off in New York City, and at full scale, this program should be able to offer housing for 1,000 asylum seekers while also having the potential to expand and house more.
Migrants speak with NYC Homeless Outreach members as they camp out in front of the Watson Hotel after being evicted on January 30, 2023, in New York City. Migrants who have been staying at the Watson Hotel since arriving to NYC were evicted over the weekend to be relocated to the recently opened up migrant relief center for single adult men at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal.
"We should be recycling our own dollars," Adams added."We should take this crisis and go to opportunities. That is how we can deal with this." Over the past year, more than 72,000 illegal migrants people have poured into the Big Apple, and over 45,000 of them are currently living in shelters and hotels paid for with tax dollars."We cannot continue to sustain this with the inflow that we’re receiving," he said."I don’t want anyone to believe that this is sustainable because it is not."NYC MAYOR ERIC ADAMS ACCUSES TEXAS GOV.
