Assembly Member Charles Barron lists his concerns around classism and homelessness in New York. ‘We adamantly oppose Mayor Eric Adams’ proposed relocation of asylum-seekers at the facility located at 501 New Lots Avenue in East New York, Brooklyn.’
We, listed below, adamantly oppose Mayor Eric Adams’ proposed relocation of asylum-seekers at the facility located at 501 New Lots Avenue in East New York, Brooklyn.You recently declared a state of emergency in New York City, regarding the influx of asylum-seekers. However, East New York was already in a state of emergency regarding the oversaturation of homeless shelters in our district. This oversaturation is a violation of the fair-share act.
We say, that as mayor, you should not violate the fair share act in communities that are already over- saturated. You should not force this on our community. We call on you to follow the law and house the asylum seekers in those communities that are not over-saturated and have not historically shouldered their fair share of providing temporary shelter.
We want to go on record and say that we whole-heartedly support temporary housing of asylum-seekers as a solution to the state of emergency, however, the inequity in this plan will only worsen our situation.
