Mayor Eric Adams is facing sharp criticism Thursday from fellow city pols and advocates after he signed on Wednesday night an executive order suspending parts of the city’s longstanding right-to-shelter law ahead of a new migrant surge following the expiration of federal Title 42.
The executive order — first reported by the news website Gothamist — suspends parts of the decades-old right to shelter law, which guarantees any person seeking shelter a placement in New York City’s system, that pertains to finding shelter for those seeking it within a given timeframe.
