new york state supreme court tells nyc to spell out needs in migrant crisis
A New York State Supreme Court has ordered New York City to reveal what it needs from the state in order to solve the migrant housing crisis.
New York State Supreme Court Judge Erika Edwards on Friday ordered NYC to solve the crisis as tens of thousands of migrants have come to the city.
Hundreds of migrants are sleeping and waiting for help on the sidewalks outside the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, a neighborhood in New York City.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams revealed that the city’s shelter system was on the verge of collapse due to the migrant crisis.
Recently, the Legal Aid Society and Coalition for the Homeless issued a joint statement, asking the court to help migrants. They cited a 1981 consent decree under which the city and the state must shelter people in need without any delay.
On Monday, they said, “Denying new arrivals placement and forcing people to languish on local streets is cruel.”
Subsequently, New York State Supreme Court Judge Erika Edwards asked authorities in New York city to respond to the migrant housing crisis as thousands of migrants seek refuge in the city. The court stated on Friday that the New York state can no longer leave asylum seekers to sleep on sidewalks
The judge ordered the city until Wednesday to determine which state buildings and resources are required to provide suitable housing to the asylum seekers. After that, the state would have until August 15 to respond.
Dave Giffin, executive director at the Coalition for the Homeless, told Reuters, “We’re happy about this.” Later on, the New York City mayor’s office said that the city required state and federal support to solve the migrant housing crisis.
Mayor Eric Adams’ office said, “We need all of our partners to step up and treat this crisis like the emergency.”
