New York City is closing a tent complex for migrants that it had just opened three weeks ago as the influx of people being bused from southern border states has slowed, officials said Thursday
The center had opened Oct. 19 to house single men seeking asylum in the U.S. for temporary periods after their initial arrival in New York City. The center helped them determine what resources they needed and whether they wanted to go elsewhere.
It led to Adams declaring a state of emergency over the increased pressure on the city's infrastructure, with the homeless shelter system bursting. There are more than 63,300 people in the shelter system. The mayor's office did not specify how many migrants had used the facility. It said there 17,500 people seeking asylum in the city's care overall.
Even before it opened, immigrant advocates had been concerned about the center over a range of issues including its location, on an island between the Bronx, Manhattan and Queens, and whether it was appropriate to house people in tents instead of built spaces like hotels, and whether migrants would be getting adequate services.
