Advocates pen letter blasting Mayor Adams’ legal motion to suspend right-to-shelter
, but rather “clarity” from the court that would give them more “flexibility” in finding suitable housing for tens of thousands of migrants.
“Rather than propose a narrowly tailored request to temporarily modify particular standards in the Judgment that they believe are inhibiting their ability to respond to the recent influx of migrants into New York City, Defendants [the administration] have proposed to eviscerate the bedrock legal protections in the Judgment and make it completely unenforceable,” Goldfein wrote.
After filling its homeless shelter system nearly to capacity and erecting over 150 emergency shelters, the mayor’s office says a recent surge of new arrivals spurred by the expiration of Title 42 — a federal rule that limited migration — left it with no choice but to seek changes to right-to shelter.
Goldfein said the groups have given the administration a list of recommendations they believe would ease pressure on the city’s overburdened shelter system without jeopardizing the Callahan decision. Those include expanding access to city housing vouchers, filling vacant staff positions to combat discrimination against voucher holders and process applications more quickly and putting more funding into legal services to help migrants with their asylum applications.
