Adams floats idea of New Yorkers housing migrants in ‘private residences’
Quote:There’s no place like home?
Mayor Eric Adams wants regular New Yorkers to literally welcome migrants flooding the Big Apple by revealing his latest idea to potentially put thousands of asylum seekers into private dwellings while paying local homeowners and landlords.
“It is my vision to take the next step to this faith-based locales and then move to a private residence” Hizzoner said Monday during a City Hall press conference.
“We can take that $4.2 billion — $4.3 [billion] maybe now — that we anticipate we have to spend and we can put it back in the pockets of everyday, everyday houses of worship instead of putting it in the pockets of corporations.”
“We should be recycling our own dollars,” he added.
Adams said moving migrants into private homes is the next step in the administration’s blueprint to house the crush of homeless individuals, after unveiling a new plan to house single migrant men in 50 churches, mosques and other houses of worship across the five boroughs.
He acknowledged that City Hall would need to get over a “30 day rule” but would not elaborate on the rule or the necessary logistics to implement the plan.
Since last spring, over 72,000 people have flooded into Gotham with over 45,000 currently living in 160 taxpayer-funded emergency shelters and hotels.
“We need to be clear, this is not sustainable with the inflow that we’re receiving,” a desperate Adams explained.
The mayor said the city will work to “find a way” to get around city government rules that typically bar the city from housing homeless people in private homes.
He also mentioned that City Hall is making a push for the state legislature to strike a deal that would bring illegal basement apartments up to code.
“First of all, it’s cheaper and it’s an investment for us to go to a family and assist them instead of placing people in large congregate settings or all these emergency hotels.”
The city and other fiscal watchdogs are estimating the crisis’ price tag will likely rise above its current $4.3 billion, as more migrants arrive daily. Last week the city tracked 2,200 new arrivals.
The city Office of Management and Budget previously revealed that City Hall spends roughly $380 per night on a household to sleep, eat and receive other services in converted hotels.
Adams’ new plan to house the newcomers in houses of worship would also be cheaper — around $125 a night, according to City Hall.

How about we just consider them as exchange students and we get to send 7M idiots from this country to central America.

Been saying it for years, the socialist/communist pricks need to be required to take in and care for at least 5 each.
How many leftists on this board are going to volunteer to take 5 in?

Pretty sure we have whole section in the constitution about the government forcing people to house people in private homes

Start with Eric Adam's house. My guess is he would NOT like that idea.
