SUNSET PARK, Brooklyn (WABC) — New York City officials have moved migrants out of a school gym in Brooklyn amid growing backlash from parents over the city’s housing plan.
After receiving criticism over the plan to house asylum seekers in city schools, asylum seekers were moved Wednesday from the gym at P.S. 188 in Coney Island to a location once used by Touro College on West 31st street across from the Moynihan Train Hall.
More buses arrived Wednesday. The latest arrivals are in addition to 4,300 migrants arriving in the last week according to the city as it scrambles to find more temporary shelters.
Meanwhile NYC Mayor Eric Adams said 50% of city hotel rooms are currently filled by asylum seekers — and the city is having a hard time finding any other room at hotels for them.
