Nearly 50,000 asylum seekers have arrived in New York since last spring, with more than 30,000 still in the city’s care.
This surge is impacting almost every municipality service and costing the city $5 million a day to house and care for these migrants.
The Adams administration also wants to move the asylum seeker processing center from the Port Authority Bus Terminal and create a 24/7 intake center. Malu said they have been operating out of the Port Authority since July, connecting asylum seekers to food, shelter, legal services, school enrollment officers and more.
The mayor also released a blueprint for how the city plans to tackle the migrant crisis moving forward, including training asylum seekers for new jobs and relocating them to different cities across the state and country."There are many cities within the state and across the country that are saying they want to help," Adams said. "And no please don't ask me which cities because I don’t need you guys running to the cities and stopping us from getting asylum seekers there.
