Late on Tuesday, Mayor Eric Adams’ administration filed its response to the lawsuit aimed at forcing it to implement several laws expanding access to housing
“Instead of 100,000 migrants by mid-2024, we expect to care for 80,000 by June and 90,000 by the end of the year,” Mayor Eric Adams said while unveiling his budget Tuesday, saying a combination of strict limits on immigrant shelter stays and “reticketing” efforts to move immigrants to locations outside the city helped drive that estimate down.
Adams, who up until recently was a stern critic of remote work, announced the pilot program deal with DC37 on Thursday, describing it as a sign that the “post-pandemic reality” is here to stay.
Ana Almanzar, who served as chief of staff in Cuomo’s state nonprofit unit between 2014 and 2020, is expected to become Adams’ deputy mayor of strategic initiatives, a source told the Daily News.
Mayor Adams has signed an executive order suspending portions of the city’s longstanding right-to-shelter law a seemingly unprecedented move that comes as New York braces for the local migrant crisis to worsen, an attorney briefed on the matter told the Daily News late Wednesday.
