New York City is teaming up with faith leaders to shelter asylum seekers in houses of worship. MKramerTV reports.
As many as 50 mosques, synagogues and churches will each house up to 19 single, adult men overnight. The city will open up to five recreation centers where the men can go during the day.
"No matter what faith you practice, it is in all of our faiths that we're supposed to care for those who are in need. Not only is it on the Statue of Liberty, but it is on our texts that we look and read and study from. As a Christian, Christian scripture reminds us, 'Love thy neighbor as thyself and welcome the stranger among us,'" said Adams.
