The state has given Mayor Eric Adams clearance to use a shuttered prison complex in Harlem as a temporary migrant shelter, as his administration has struggled to find housing for a wave of migrants who have inundated the Big Apple in recent weeks, the mayor’s office confirmed to amNewYork Metro Friday.

According to City Hall, the state gave the administration the green light to use the Lincoln Correctional Facility, 31-33 West 110th St., which has stood empty since it was permanently shuttered in 2019, as an “emergency respite center” where single adult male migrants will be housed. It will initially accommodate up to 500 newcomers.
