A New York state Supreme Court judge is ordering state officials to help address the city’s increasingly difficult task of meeting its right-to-shelter obligation.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.A New York state Supreme Court judge is ordering state officials to help address the city’s increasingly difficult task of meeting its right-to-shelter obligation, after scores of mostly adult male migrants spent several days this week sleeping outside a shelter intake center in Midtown.
"As we’ve known since the early days of this crisis, this is not just a New York City emergency, but a crisis that requires support from the state and federal governments," Adams said in a statement following the hearing. "We need all of our partners to step up and treat this crisis like the emergency that it is, instead of abandoning New York City to provide shelter and care for more than 95,000 asylum seekers by ourselves.
The bulk of the state’s assistance has come in the form of roughly $1 billion in funding. That’s significantly more than what the federal government has offered to combat a national problem. It’s also far less than the $4 billion Adams has said will be required to meet the crisis. Legal Aid has been fighting the city’s request to roll back the right to shelter, a unique 40-year-old mandate that requires the city to provide a bed to anyone who requests one. The state is a party in the proceedings; it was one of the defendants along with the city under the original 1981 legal case that won the right to shelter for homeless New Yorkers.
