Asylum seekers camped outside the Roosevelt Hotel for hours in the heat Saturday after being told there was no room for them. alecia__reid reports.
We're told MTA buses were made available for people to take shelter and cool off.
One man said some single individuals were asked to come out to offer space for families with children. "They tell us there is no room. There is going to be like, they're all full. We have to wait. Maybe two weeks, maybe two days, who knows?""With more than 93,000 asylum seekers coming through our intake system since last spring, our teams run out of space every single day, and we do our best to offer placements wherever we have space available,"
Children and families continue to be prioritized and are found a bed every night. While we at least offered all adults a temporary place to wait off the sidewalks last night, some may have chosen to sleep outside.We're told unfortunately this may continue to happen if the city doesn't get state and federal funding to help with all the asylum seekers that continue to come in.
