New York City is reportedly close to reaching a deal with Norwegian Cruise Line to house migrants on one of its luxury vessels upon arrival in the Big Apple
.
Mayor Eric Adams' administration has been under pressure to provide shelter to the thousands of incoming migrants arriving in New York City, and the city's shelter system has struggled to keep up with the demand. In addition to opening Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers, the mayor is eyeing the Norwegian cruise ship for a six-month lease to house and process asylum seekers before transitioning them into the city shelters, thereported Friday. The vessel would likely be docked at Staten Island’s Homeport, the former naval station on the northeastern shore of the island.
Speaking to reporters at City Hall, the mayor said he did not have any announcements to issue regarding a deal with the cruise liner.
