Mayor Eric Adams signed an executive order Wednesday that temporarily eases housing requirements for homeless families seeking shelter amid the city’s escalating migrant crisis.
“This is not a decision taken lightly and we will make every effort to get asylum seekers into shelter as quickly as possible as we have done since day one,” City Hall spokesperson Fabian Levy said in a statement Wednesday night. The executive order also loosens regulations that limit tenant evictions from hotels and suspends a portion of a law that bars the city from placing homeless families in congregate shelters without their own bathrooms and kitchens.
“We appreciate that up until now that the city has been able to provide shelter to everyone and that they’re concerned about what’s coming,” said Joshua Goldfein, a staff attorney at Legal Aid’s homeless rights project.
