“With the opening of yet another humanitarian relief center, we continue to ask for our federal and state partners for a real decompression strategy and hope to open and operate temporary shelters across the state and nation, as New York City has reached its capacity,” said Adams in a press release. The center would initially feature 175 rooms for children and families, as well as an additional 100 to 150 rooms for migrants in transition to other locations, before it is eventually scaled up to about 850 rooms, the city said.
