Mayor Adams is facing pushback over some plans the city is considering to house newly arrived migrants. Christinafantv has the story.
Sources told CBS2 the mayor's chief of staff already spoke with leaders from Norwegian Cruise Line and even stayed on one of the company's ships in France last month for research purposes."We want to make sure people have access to transportation, and their kids can get to school, and that if they have work authorization, they can go to jobs.
"We need to invest in what we know works and that is permanent affordable housing, as well as high-quality shelters," Simone said. Back in 2002, the Bloomberg administration floated a similar idea to use cruise ships no longer in service as accommodations for the city's more than 37,000 homeless people. However, the plan was eventually scrapped due to criticism.
When asked Monday, Mayor Adams said,"We are not going to leave any stone unturned. Once we finalize our plans, we are going to announce it."
