The mayor’s office and its agencies were on the defensive Thursday while touring a new Asylum Seeker Resource Navigation Center in Midtown amid allegations that the city is having difficulty sheltering the new arrivals.
Mayor Eric Adams and several elected officials toured the center located inside the American Red Cross at 520 West 49th St. The center — which is operated by Catholic Charities of New York through a city contract – is expected to offer free assistance, connecting migrants arriving after Jan. 1 of this year to services and resources.
