The mayor made his remarks as the City Council released its own plan to manage the crisis.
. On Wednesday evening, Adams said his administration was doing everything it could, but needed assistance from Washington, D.C.
Piling onto the criticism of the mayor’s ‘tent city’ plan, the City Council offered its own solution in a press release on Wednesday, with Speaker Adrienne Adams proposing the city remove migrants out of the tent locations and into 10 large-scale hotels. Among the hotels would be Gramercy Park Hotel, which is set to permanently close.
The plan also calls to fast-track the transitioning of sheltered homeless individuals to permanent housing to free up capacity. “I'm looking forward to sitting down with the Council and Councilwoman Adrienne Adams, our speaker, and come up with those solutions,” Adams said.
