Random email I received from NYC, I guess because I'm on a vendor list somewhere.

Dear Partners,​



We need your help!​

New York City is currently experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, as thousands of individuals and families fleeing their home country seeking asylum in the United States make their way here. To meet this need, the City has opened more than 120 emergency shelters and an additional 8 Humanitarian Relief and Response Centers (HERRCS) over the last year. There are over currently 36,500 asylum seekers in our care, and it's rapidly increasing as policies at the border continue to shift.

City workers, community-and faith-based partners have all stepped up over the last year to provide the critical services that asylum seekers need, such as food, clothing, shelter, health care, access to legal information and education.

The City is seeking partners to help identify space and/or provide shelter services at emergency sites.



Services​

Emergency shelters, overseen by the Department of Homeless Services (DHS), provide temporary housing, case management services, food, security and other needed services to individuals and families. The attached emergency solicitation provides more detail.

Any provider interested in providing these services can submit a proposal under the emergency solicitation. Once selected, DHS will work closely with you at every step of the way to ensure the sites run smoothly.

DHS and their partners will find the sites, negotiate the rents, manage all payments and oversee the maintenance and cleaning of the sites. This will allow providers to focus on providing services.

DHS is holding informational sessions to brief interested providers on this work and to answer any questions you have. Please sign up below.

  • Wednesday, 5/10 from 2:30 -3:30. RSVP here.
  • Friday, 5/12 from 10:30-11:30. RSVP here.


Space​

The City is also looking for emergency sites such as gyms or dorms that are available quickly and that could be used by the City temporarily to provide immediate relief to asylum seekers.

Please evaluate your inventory – both spaces you own as well as other ideas you have- and let us know if you have anything available for potential use as soon as possible.

For any property that meets the following key criteria and is available for use or for any suggestions, please send an email to Asylumseekersupport@cityhall.nyc.gov.

Key Criteria for temporary shelter space –

  • 10,000 square feet minimum
  • Large available open layout spaces i.e., gyms, recreational centers, dorms, etc.
  • Contained within a building
  • No known health hazards
  • Secure space with 24/7 access
  • Bathrooms and preferably showers (but we can figure out showers if need be)

​

Thank you so much in advance for your partnership.
We cannot do this alone.

Forcing private home owners to take in these migrants would have to
be on their radar. What other options are there?

Closing the border. That's where the real problem is, not NYC.

Gov. Abbott is trying to make a statement, that the border and the demoncratic policies are the problem, but demoncratic can only see the local event and can't add 1+1=2.

Imagine how the Border states have been feeling before pushing folks their way...and every state on the way...they say 1million more are expected in the next couple days...that 1 in every 300 people are an immigrant (from this week alone).. imagine every town of 3000 people will have 10 new homeless people they dont have programs, facilities or funds to help.

exactly. NY is JUST NOW feeling what the entire US has been getting since the first Zero term. They're gettingg to NY, they're already EVERYWHERE in between.

and as far as "forcing" residents to take migrants in to their homes... LOLOLOL That would take the same amount of force as relieving me of my lawful protections... because that's what it would take!

There are 2 counties that both declared some kind of emergency to stop this: Rockland and Orange. There is a long article on politico that goes into a lot of detail but I can't post it until later.

NYC City Hall has about 200k square feet, that should be plenty of space.

I was going to write to them to suggest that, but the wife freaked out and said she doesn't want the FBI on our doorstep. sigh.

New York City Sticks With Migrant Hotel Plan Despite Pushback From Suburbs

New York City officials plan to send some asylum-seekers to an upstate hotel

New York City officials plan to send a some asylum-seekers to a suburban hotel despite fierce resistance from local leaders and a judge's order temporarily blocking the use of a different hotel.

Mayor Eric Adams caused an uproar north of the city by announcing Friday that the city would send north up to 300 single, adult men to two hotels in suburban Rockland County and neighboring Orange County for up to four months. The Democratic mayor's plan comes as the city struggles to deal with a surge of about 60,000 asylum-seekers since last spring, many of whom were bused to the city by out-of-state governors.

The administration pledged to provide food and services to the men. But local officials accused Adams of doing the very thing he complained governors were doing to the city: bussing out asylum-seekers without properly alerting the municipalities where the people were headed.

“It was a sneak attack in the dark of night,” Orangetown Supervisor Teresa Kenny said at a news conference Wednesday.

The confrontation comes as cities across the nation prepare for an increase in migrants seeking asylum when a pandemic-era policy that permitted the expulsion of many migrants ends Thursday.
Political Cartoons

Kenny said her Rockland County town secured a temporary restraining order stopping the Armoni Inn and Suites from taking in asylum-seekers as its lawsuit progresses. That's in addition to emergency declarations in both Rockland and Orange counties designed to block hotels or motels from housing migrants.

Rockland County Executive Ed Day said the county was pursuing it own litigation and that the hotel's operating permit expired April 30.

A call seeking comment was made to the Armoni Inn.

Despite the setbacks, New York City officials plan to move forward with at least part of the plan and send “a small number of asylum seekers” to Orange County on Wednesday, Adams spokesperson Fabien Levy said in a prepared statement.

“We will allow the hotel to decide how to move forward in Rockland County,” Levy said. He did not provide further details on the transfer, saying, "we need the federal government to step up, but until they do, we need other elected officials around the state and country to do their part."

Orange County officials have identified their local hotel as the Crossroads Hotel in the Town of Newburgh, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) north of the city.

Levy claimed that Day, a Republican, has failed to show “humane and compassionate care.” Day said local opposition stems from the city unilaterally pursuing an ill-conceived plan that will strain local resources.

“The plan is short-sighted, universally opposed locally and will only endanger the lives of our residents,” Day said.

Camille Mackler, the executive director of Immigrant ARC, a coalition of legal service providers, said officials at all levels of government deserved blame for a response she characterized as chaotic and inefficient.

“We need to have a better coordinated response," she said, "and one that centers the humanity and dignity of everyone involved instead of continuing to use their lives as political pawns.”

The Adams administration has already been using hotels within the city to house some migrants, mainly families with children. Plans to house others at sites — including a cruise ship terminal and a beach parking lot in the Bronx — have been abandoned.

Imagine traveling to another country without a penny in your pocket and when you arrive demanding food, clothing, shelter, health care, access to legal information and education.

They write this tripe as if it were the earth spinning on its axis (there is nothing we can do about it), yet all they have to do is reinstate the policy .... the problem is not that they cannot reinstate the policy, the problem is they do not want to reinstate the policy.

Oops, sorry. I did watch the clip, but couldn't hear the audio that well.

I took your comment as I was in agreement with the woke crowd BS.

I'm trying to avoid this place as much as possible as it's seems like
many are just looking for a fight because they don't understand comments.

Seems I can recall a similar situation in one of the Scandinavian nations, the very upset citizens started to torch the housing provided for the Muslim refugees to drive them out of their smaLL villages. If some Muslims/blacks/etc aliens showed up here I would torch my own house before I let them move in.
