After months of saying New Yorkers are going to start seeing scores of migrants sleeping on Big Apple streets, Mayor Eric Adams detailed for the first time on Tuesday some of what the city is doing to prepare for that reality.
The mayor said that when, not if, the city has no more space for housing a continuous stream of newly arrived migrants, his administration will have to “manage” and “localize” newcomers sleeping outside. The move would be a way to avoid the widespread homeless encampments that are common in other major American cities, like San Fransico.
