Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.A new migrant relief center for single adult men will soon open in Red Hook, Mayor Eric Adams announced on Saturday.
The site will take in single adult men currently staying at the Watson Hotel in Midtown, which will be converted to a center for migrant families with children. However, migrant advocates expressed concerns with the site's location, which they said was "in a high-risk flood zone... and will needlessly expose future residents to the elements during some of the coldest months of the year."
The new relief site in Brooklyn will be the fifth site of its kind to open in the city since tens of thousands of migrants began arriving from border states like Texas under Republican leadership last spring. The city estimates that 41,000 migrants, many of them also seeking asylum, have arrived since then. On Saturday afternoon, the mayor said the city was “at its breaking point.”
