Mayor Eric Adams announced Oct. 12 a new Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center designed specifically to provide aid to migrant families with children.
According to the mayor, the Center will be located at the Row hotel in Midtown Manhattan and is expected to serve about 200 families. Hizzoner charged that the hotel will be a touch point for arriving asylum seekers, helping people by immediately offering shelter, food, medical care, casework services, and more. The mayor also promises the facility will help ensure they can reach wherever they were originally headed, even if that is not the Big Apple.
