New York City to Open a new Migrant Shelter in the Parking Lot of the Creedmoor Psychiatric Hospital in the Queens
NY1.com The site will house and provide services for up to 1,000 single adult men seeking asylum, helping them "reach their desired destination, if not New York City," the release said. (NYC Mayor) Adams said the space is being provided by the state, while any "associated costs of the site," including "construction, maintenance, and staffing," will be reimbursed to the city.
Regardless, some other politicans raised concerns - as should be expected as the city is running out of room (per Mayor Adams). abc7ny.com In addition, some in the community fear it might close a SNAP center (which) provides everything from meals on wheels to health and wellness programs.
