Adams says the city “cannot single-handedly provide care to everyone crossing our border.”
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Mayor Eric Adams is pursuing legal action to weaken a four-decade-old ruling that mandates New York City provide shelter to anyone who requests it, citing the influx of tens of thousands of migrants as a reason the city should no longer be required to comply with the court order.
In a letter addressed to Judge Deborah Kaplan, the deputy chief administrative judge for New York City Courts, a member of the city’s Law Department requested “relief” and “modification” of the 1984 consent decree from the case Callahan v. Carey that established the so-called right-to-shelter law. Our city has done more to support asylum-seekers than any other city in the nation, but the unfortunate reality is that the city has extended itself further than its resources will allow.over the last year. Around 44,000 are currently in the city’s care, according to estimates provided by the mayor’s office.
“For more than 40 years, Callahan has served as a lifeline for countless New Yorkers seeking shelter and critical services,” they said. “New Yorkers do not want to see anyone, including asylum-seekers, relegated to the streets. We will vigorously oppose any motion from this Administration that seeks to undo these fundamental protections that have long defined our city.”
