New York City to house migrants at Brooklyn Cruise Terminal

RED HOOK, Brooklyn (WABC) — Mayor Eric Adams is making plans to turn the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal into New York City’s latest humanitarian emergency response and relief center.

After making the announcement that the city would open the new emergency shelter at the cruise terminal, city workers started the transition on Monday.

The new relief center will open in the coming weeks and house 1,000 single adult men. Migrants will be housed in the terminal, not on the ships themselves.

That was why the tent shelter on Randall’s Island was built before it was dismantled after only a month because it was underused.

The first occupants in Red Hook will be relocated from the Watson Hotel in Midtown.
