New York’s migrant crisis seems to be testing Eric Adams to his limits
The pop-up-shelter process has continued. The administration opened two relief centers for men in the Red Hook cruise terminal, thena couple of months later. More recently, City Hall drew protests by announcing plans to convert as many as 20 public school gymnasiums into congregate shelters for migrants — some of which were already open at schools in Coney Island, Williamsburg, and Staten Island — only toon the idea in the face of protests by parents and students.
“For decades, the 90-Day Rule has arbitrarily kept New Yorkers in shelter far longer than they should be — but right now, the City has a chance to end this illogical barrier. Repealing this rule could save the City up to $27,990 per family with children, while helping them leave shelter sooner,” Quinn said in a statement.
“This is not a natural disaster like Superstorm Sandy. It’s a man-made crisis. It’s a failure of governments in Central and South America. A failure to have a border policy,” Brendan McGuire, chief counsel to Adams, told me. “We are now in a place where we have no more room, we have no more people to staff these facilities, and we need help.”
“Look, I’m sympathetic to the situation the mayor is in with the asylum seekers, but he is absolutely wrong in rolling back the provisions of the right to shelter,” says Quinn. “He rolled back a provision that said people shouldn’t be allowed to sleep on the floor of city office buildings. He rolled back a provision that prevented children with their parents from sleeping in congregate settings while they wait for a placement. We have had a standard since the late ’80s, ’90s.
