New York City’s largest homeless service provider called Monday on all levels of government for aid as the migrant crisis rages on.
Women in Need—also known as WIN—says it currently houses some 270 families seeking asylum, in addition to over 700 children, and the nonprofit is being pushed to its breaking point. With so many asylum seekers in need of assistance, WIN asserts that it also needs help to provide warm clothes, food, translators, and legal assistance to new arrivals.
This appeal comes hot on the heels of Mayor Eric Adams’ visit to the Texas border over the weekend, something WIN CEO Christine Quinn applauded. Still, she also charged that organizations like hers need help in order to care for the influx of humanity.
