As the ballooning population of illegal immigrants continues to overwhelm New York City’s shelter system, Mayor Eric Adams is not ruling out giving tents to the new arrivals and housing them in encampments in public parks.
The proposal, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, is just one of many options the city has considered to address the massive deficit of indoor shelter space as a staggering 130,000 people have arrived since last spring. More than 65,000 individuals are relying on the city for shelter, food, and other needs.
