The Big Apple is opening yet another large-scale migrant shelter at the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in Queens as the city scrambles to find space for the influx of asylum seekers continuing to pour in, Mayor Adams’ administration said Wednesday.
The state offered up the space for the mega shelter and will reimburse New York City for the costs to construct, maintain and staff the site, Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Anne Williams-Isom said, adding the city has already forked out $1.5 billion on the ongoing crisis. More than 56,200 migrants are currently staying at the various city-run shelters — including over 2,900 that have arrived in Gotham in the last week alone, City Hall’s latest figures show.
“New York City is continuing to find creative ways to support asylum seekers, but we know it is an unsustainable effort absent a national decompression strategy from the federal government.
