The city has entered into a two-year partnership with a faith-based non-profit that will enlist up to 50 houses of worship to offer overnight stays for single adults, mayor Eric Adams announced Monday.

The partnership, which is with the New York Disaster Interfaith Services (NYDIS), comes at a time when the administration is searching for suitable shelter spaces to accommodate tens of thousands of asylum seekers. The joint program will allow up to 50 houses of worship to sign up for hosting as many as 19 single adult male migrants for overnight stays, according to the mayor’s office, and will be funded by the city. At full capacity, the program will accommodate close to 1,000 newcomers.
