NEW YORK — New York City is 'reassessing' longstanding procedures that stem from a law requiring the city to shelter undomiciled people.
More Than 237 Asylum Seekers Are Coming to New York CityNEW YORK — New York City is"reassessing" longstanding procedures that stem from a law requiring the city to shelter undomiciled people.
McGuire declined to elaborate what, specifically, might need to change but the city's prior practices involving mainly people experiencing homelessness"never contemplated the bussing of thousands of people into New York," Mayor Adams said earlier this week."We expect thousands more to arrive every week going forward. The city's system is nearing its breaking point."
Officials said Texas authorities have not coordinated with New York officials, meaning that officials are unaware of when buses will arrive or how many individuals will be on the buses. "There's no ambiguity there, so it's an important distinction. We are not reassessing the right to shelter. We are reassessing [the] practices around the right to shelter," McGuire said.
Adams announced the opening of New York City's first Asylum Seeker Resource Navigation Center on Thursday.
