Long critical of Mayor Eric Adams’ handling of the migrant influx over the past two years, the City Council on Tuesday announced the composition and shape of a new “strategy team” designed to advance solutions to the ongoing deluge of newcomers.
Dubbed the “New Arrivals Strategy Team,” the group will work to come up with both immediate plans and longer-term solutions for improving services for the tens of thousands of migrants who have come to the Big Apple and better integrating them into the city, according to the council. The team is comprised of city government veterans, nonprofit leaders, immigrants with lived experience and service providers.
