New York City is desperately trying to find ways to house asylum seekers. A confidential memo obtained by MKramerTV says the city is even considering closing large sections of city streets for temporary housing.
A confidential memo obtained by CBS2 says the city is even considering closing large sections of city streets for temporary housing.
The city is anticipating 800 asylum seekers a day to begin arriving here after the pandemic law limiting the number of immigrants that can enter the United States expires at the end of the week.Those stunning numbers were found in a confidential memo obtained by CBS2 that lays out the housing options Mayor Eric Adams will have to consider as the numbers swell from the over-61,000 who have already come here to as many as 100,000 by the next fiscal year.
One possibility is to close large sections of streets in various neighborhoods for temporary housing. "Being on the street bed would provide access to water, sewer and electricity and could then support trailers or modular/prefabricated housing," the memo states.Mohamed Ahmed, the CEO of a local tiny home manufacturer, says he's already been talking to city officials about suppling units.
"We currently have a model, currently right now it's 420 square feet. It's a two-bedroom, and it's a foldable unit that can be deployed on site," he said.
