Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday said he’s looking to open up his own residence at Gracie Mansion to house asylum seekers as a way to incentivize private homeowners to take migrants into their homes in exchange for payment from the city.
“I was speaking with the staff to see if I could put a few families into Gracie Mansion. You know, I’m a big believer in leading from the front,” Hizzoner said during an unrelated news conference on June 6.
