New York Mayor Eric Adams announced a plan Monday to house as many as 2,000 migrants on an island in the East River where a migrant centre was set up last year and then taken down weeks later.
The state will reimburse the city for the cost of operating a tent city for adult migrants on Randalls Island, Adams said.
"We're grateful to Governor Hochul and New York state for their partnership in opening this new humanitarian relief centre and covering the costs, and we need more of the same from all levels of government," said Adams, who has repeatedly asked the federal government to provide more financial support to efforts to shelter migrants in New York City.
