Mayor Eric Adams’ quest to roll back the city’s right-t0-shelter mandate amid the ongoing migrant crisis received new opposition Thursday from a coalition of advocates, clergy leaders and labor groups.
The alliance, dubbed the “New York Shelter for All in Need Equally Coalition” (NY SANE Coalition), is made up of groups including the Legal Aid Society, the shelter provider Win, the Episcopal Diocese of NY, 1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers East and many others. It was formed to counter the city’s latest request to a Manhattan Supreme Court judge to relieve it of its shelter obligations.
