WILLIAMS' STATEMENT ON THE 'RIGHT TO SHELTER' FOR ASYLUM SEEKERS

 

OFFICE OF THE PUBLIC ADVOCATE

FOR THE CITY OF NEW YORK

JUMAANE D. WILLIAMS


"New Yorkers have a right to shelter, including our newest and aspiring New Yorkers. My hope is that the administration continues to focus on upholding that right and not on undercutting it. 


"While it is clear that the current situation is unsafe, unsustainable, and in dire need of state and federal support, this is not a justification to abandon our legal and moral obligation to provide quality shelter to people – all people – most in need."
