MAYOR ADAMS ANNOUNCES OPENING OF SATELLITE ASYLUM SEEKER RESOURCE NAVIGATION SITES TO SUPPORT NEWLY ARRIVING ASYLUM SEEKERS

 

Eight Satellite Asylum Resource Navigation Sites Will Provide Range of Services to Asylum Seekers Throughout New York City 

New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA) Commissioner Manuel Castro today announced an additional eight Asylum Seeker Resource Navigation sites that will be opened across the five boroughs, in an effort to continue supporting newly arrived individuals and families seeking asylum. Eight community-based organizations have been chosen and granted $2.1 million to run these sites that will build on the ongoing work of the city’s first Asylum Seeker Resource Navigation Center, operated by Catholic Charities of New York. 

“The city’s first Asylum Seeker Resource Navigation Centers has served nearly 7,000  individuals since opening a few short months ago, and I’m proud to expand the footprint of this important work across all five boroughs to support the asylum seekers arriving in our city every day,” said Mayor Adams. “In partnership with these eight community-based organizations, these additional centers will help support the more than 26,000 asylum seekers who have arrived here in New York City with a range of services including legal assistance, medical care, and school enrollment. New York City will continue to do all we can to meet our moral and legal mandates and welcome and support asylum seekers arriving here, and these sites will play an important role delivering critical services directly to families and individuals who need them.”  

“Throughout the city’s response to the asylum seeker crisis, we have worked in partnership with community-based organizations,” said Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Anne Williams-Isom. “Today’s announcement builds upon that work and offers additional layers of support for individuals and families seeking a new home in New York City. Thank you to our partners who will continue to serve asylum seekers at satellite locations in all five boroughs.”  

“New York City has led the nation’s response to the influx of asylum seekers, launching the first Asylum Seeker Navigation Center,” said MOIA Commissioner Castro. “Today, we take another stride forward by announcing several community organizations that will serve as satellite sites across the five boroughs to support our new neighbors. Through this effort, our administration will continue to lead with care and compassion and empower our newest New Yorkers with resources and services.”   

The selected organizations will provide individuals and families with in-person support — in Spanish and in other languages — including a variety of supplemental services, comprehensive case management, and immigrant rights workshops: 

• Aid for Aids International 
• African Communities Together (ACT) 
• Catholic Charities Community Services, Archdiocese of New York 
• Catholic Charities Neighborhood Services Brooklyn & Queens 
• Coalicion Mexicana 
• La Colmena 
• Mercy Center 
• Mixteca Organization 
• New Immigrant Community Empowerment (NICE)

The city’s first Asylum Seeker Resource Navigation Center — located at the American Red Cross of Greater New York headquarters — will continue to operate on weekdays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and provide individuals and families with in-person support. Services at the navigation center and Catholic Charities sites will be available by appointments and walk-ins are accepted in all other locations. Appointments can be made by community-based partners and certain city agencies, including city shelter staff. Since this humanitarian crisis began, the city has — largely on its own — taken fast and urgent action, managing the arrival of a rapidly increasing number of buses across New York City with virtually no coordination from states sending them — opening 57 hotels as emergency shelters and three humanitarian relief centers already.   

“Expanding access and resources for those seeking asylum is important as we work to ensure newly arrived immigrants are welcomed with dignity and respect,” said Beatriz Diaz Taveras , executive director, Catholic Charities Community Services. “Catholic Charities of New York is excited that we can continue our partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, and extend our reach through 11 impactful organizations that will help to support this incoming population. As an extension of our work at the Asylum Seeker Resource Navigation Center, these satellite sites will help to provide much-needed on-the-ground case management services in all five boroughs.” 

“The immigrants coming to New York seeking asylum and inclusion are diverse and include significant numbers of West Africans and other Black migrants,” said Amaha Kassa, executive director, ACT. “New York's African immigrant communities are already welcoming these new New Yorkers into our mosques, churches, and community centers. ACT is proud to partner with the city on the Asylum Seeker Navigation Center to provide them with greater support and stability.”

“La Colmena has been one of the organizations that has been in the forefront in Staten Island in welcoming asylum seekers by providing them with free construction workforce classes, pre-apprenticeship programs, English classes and most importantly a community,” said Yesenia Mata, executive director, La Colmena. “Every asylum seeker we speak to lets us know that they are here to work to provide for their families and contribute to the economy. As a satellite we will continue working with all city agencies and organizations on Staten Island to ensure that all workers regardless of immigration status get the support that they need.” 

“The Mexican Coalition is proud to be part of a quality and effective welcome for our migrant community and all those who arrived seeking asylum,” said Jairo Guzman, president, Mexican Coalition. “We thank MOIA, which is committed to supporting migrants and all seeking help in New York City. Grassroots organizations are part of the great infrastructure of New York City to help all its residents. MOIA shows its availability by supporting the creation of welcome centers and incorporating Coalicion Mexicana into its mission.”

“Asylum Seekers have gone through a difficult ordeal over the past few months. In order to support them, our organization is joining the city’s effort to connect asylum seekers and their families with critical services and resources they need to thrive,” said Lorena Kourousias, executive director, Mixteca.  

“NICE connects new immigrants and asylum seekers to essential services, including health and safety trainings daily, but we cannot address the increasing need of this community alone. We’re thrilled to partner with the city of New York and other vital organizations to provide holistic and essential wrap-around services to our newest New Yorkers as a satellite site for the new Asylum Seeker Navigation Center,” said Diana Moreno, executive director, NICE. “Together we can ensure our new neighbors are welcomed with the dignity and respect they deserve.” 

DEC Announces More Than $500,000 Now Available for Grants to Support Eligible Dam Repairs

 

Funding Available to Local Government and Non-Profit Owners of ‘High Hazard’ Dams for Pre-Construction Activities

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos today announced $564,925 in grant funding is now available to assist eligible dam owners with infrastructure repair costs. Funding is provided through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) High Hazard Potential Dam grant program. DEC is accepting applications for grants to assist with technical, planning, design, and other pre-construction activities associated with the rehabilitation of eligible dams classified as High Hazard dams.

 

"Ensuring dam safety is a top priority for DEC and we encourage eligible dam owners to take advantage of this important funding," said Commissioner Seggos. "The grants announced today will support pre-construction engineering and design activities as part of an overall program to help municipal and not-for-profit owners of High Hazard dams make necessary repairs and improve public safety."

 

New York State's High Hazard dam classification refers to the potential for damage upon a dam's failure, not its likelihood of failure. A High Hazard (or Class C) dam is classified where failure may result in widespread or serious damage to homes, main highways, industrial or commercial buildings, railroads, and/or important utilities, including water supply, sewage treatment, fuel, power, cable, or telephone infrastructure, or substantial environmental damage, such that the loss of human life or widespread substantial economic loss is likely. New York State has 425 dams classified as High Hazard.

 

Local governmental entities and municipalities, including but not limited to counties, cities, towns, and villages, and not-for-profit corporations with dam projects in New York State, are eligible to apply. Projects must be in a county with an approved hazard mitigation plan. Projects and applicants are also required to meet additional eligibility criteria as described in the Request for Applications (RFA). A total of $564,925 in grants is available, with awards up to $100,000 per project.

The deadline for applications is Feb. 10, 2023. RFAs are available online through the New York State Grants Gateway. The Grants Gateway is a web-based grant management system that streamlines the way grants are administered by the State of New York. All grant applicants, including government agencies and not-for-profit corporations, must be registered in the Grants Gateway to be eligible to apply for any state grant opportunity. Not-for-profit applicants are required to "prequalify" in the Grants Gateway system.

Governor Hochul Announces Start of Construction on 339-Mile Champlain Hudson Power Express Transmission Line to Bring Clean Energy to New York City

 

Major Project Labor Agreement Executed with New York State Building and Construction Trades to Ensure Line is Constructed by Union Workers

Infrastructure Development Expected to Bring $3.5 Billion in Economic Benefits to New Yorkers and Create Nearly 1,400 Family-Sustaining Jobs

Accelerates Progress to Achieve New York's Goal of 70 Percent of Electricity Statewide from Renewable Sources by 2030 on Path to a Zero-Emission Grid

 Governor Kathy Hochul today celebrated the start of construction of the 339-mile Champlain Hudson Power Express transmission line, being developed by Transmission Developers Inc, to deliver reliable clean energy from Hydro-Québec in Canada directly to New York City. The construction of this green infrastructure project, which begins following the execution of a major union labor agreement between the developer and New York State Building and Construction Trades, is expected to bring $3.5 billion in economic benefits to New Yorkers while creating nearly 1,400 family-sustaining union jobs during construction. Today's announcement accelerates progress to achieve New York's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act goal to obtain 70 percent of electricity statewide from renewable sources by 2030 on the path to a zero-emission grid.

"As construction begins on this project to help deliver clean energy to New York City, our state is setting yet another example of what climate action looks like," Governor Hochul said. "The Champlain Hudson Power Express transmission line is a monumental step toward protecting our environment and creating family-sustaining, green jobs in both upstate and downstate New York. In partnership with union labor, this green infrastructure project will bring billions of dollars in economic benefits to our state and will pave the way for cleaner air and a healthier future for all New Yorkers."

Champlain Hudson Power Express is the first of two historic projects to start construction under the State's first-of-its-kind renewable energy and transmission program, known as Tier 4, that is administered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. The program aims to responsibly deliver a significant increase of renewable energy to New York City, an area of the state that relies on aging fossil fuel-fired generation located largely in underserved communities, experiences the most significant air quality issues and health impacts from fossil fuel emissions, and has a marked need for improved grid reliability and resiliency. Once completed, Champlain Hudson Power Express will deliver 1,250 megawatts of clean hydroelectricity, enough to power over one million homes, and will reduce carbon emissions by 37 million metric tons statewide, the equivalent of taking over half a million cars off the road every year. The transmission line is expected to be fully operational in the spring of 2026.

This milestone comes after the New York State Public Service Commission approved the project's first Environmental Management and Construction Plan for a 17.6-mile stretch of the transmission route between Putnam and Whitehall. The initial stage of construction activities, including site preparation and construction of a laydown yard, will begin in Washington County, near Whitehall, and is anticipated to continue through November 2024. A map of the transmission line can be found here.

Champlain Hudson Power Express will provide an economic boost to 73 municipalities and 59 school districts throughout New York State with an increase in incremental tax revenue of $1.4 billion in funding for local communities over the first 25 years of the project. In the coming weeks, Champlain Hudson Power Express will begin to disburse funding of nearly $30 million, including:

• $12 million to industrial development agencies in counties hosting the transmission line
• The first $12 million through its $117 million Environmental Trust Fund to finance projects that enhance New York's eastern corridor waterways
• The first $2.5 million to kickstart the $40 million Green Economy Fund to support workforce development and training initiatives in underserved communities
• $2 million to support the construction of the Randall's Island Nature Center and Queens Variety Boys and Girls Club STEM lab/programming.

The Champlain Hudson Power Express and Clean Path NY contracts were approved by the Public Service Commission in April 2022, making them the largest transmission infrastructure developments in New York State in the last 50 years. Together, these projects are capable of generating an expected 18 million megawatt-hours of clean energy per year, or more than a third of New York City's annual electric consumption, while delivering up to $5.8 billion in net societal benefits statewide, inclusive of greenhouse gas reductions and air quality improvements and 10,000 family-sustaining jobs statewide with $8.2 billion in economic development investments, including in disadvantaged communities.

New York State's Nation-Leading Climate Plan
New York State's nation-leading climate agenda is the most aggressive climate and clean energy initiative in the nation, calling for an orderly and just transition to clean energy that creates jobs and continues fostering a green economy as New York State recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic. Enshrined into law through the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, New York is on a path to achieve its mandated goal of a zero-emission electricity sector by 2040, including 70 percent renewable energy generation by 2030, and to reach economy wide carbon neutrality. It builds on New York's unprecedented investments to ramp-up clean energy including over $35 billion in 120 large-scale renewable and transmission projects across the state, $6.8 billion to reduce buildings emissions, $1.8 billion to scale up solar, more than $1 billion for clean transportation initiatives, and over $1.6 billion in NY Green Bank commitments. Combined, these investments are supporting more than 165,000 jobs in New York's clean energy sector in 2021, a 2,100 percent growth in the distributed solar sector since 2011 and a commitment to develop 9,000 megawatts of offshore wind by 2035. Under the Climate Act, New York will build on this progress and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 85 percent from 1990 levels by 2050, while ensuring that at least 35 percent with a goal of 40 percent of the benefits of clean energy investments are directed to disadvantaged communities, and advance progress towards the state's 2025 energy efficiency target of reducing on-site energy consumption by 185 trillion BTUs of end-use energy savings.

Former Long Island School Official Pleads Guilty in Kickback Scheme

 

Ex-Director of Food Services for Hempstead Public Schools Steered Contracts to Co-Defendant in Exchange for Kickbacks

Sharon Gardner, the former Director of Food Services for the Hempstead Union Free School District (“HUFSD”), pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud in connection with her participation in a kickback scheme.  Gardner’s co-defendant, Maria Caliendo, the owner of food service providers Smart Starts NY, Inc. (“Smart Starts”) and Prince Umberto’s restaurant in Franklin Square, previously pleaded guilty on October 27, 2022 to the same offense and is awaiting sentencing.  Today’s proceeding was held before United States District Judge Joanna Seybert.  When sentenced, the defendants each face up to 20 years in prison.  As part of their respective pleas, Gardner has agreed to forfeit approximately $120,000 and Caliendo has agreed to forfeit approximately $160,000.

Breon Peace, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York; Michael J. Driscoll, Assistant Director-in-Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office (FBI); Bethanne M. Dinkins, Special Agent-in-Charge, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Office of Inspector General (USDA-OIG); Terry Harris, Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Department of Education Office of Inspector General, Eastern Regional Office; Thomas Fattorusso, Special Agent-in-Charge, Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation, New York; Anne T. Donnelly, Nassau County District Attorney; and Thomas P. DiNapoli, New York State Comptroller, announced the guilty plea.

“Gardner abused her position of trust as a school official in order to enrich herself with kickbacks she used to pay for overseas vacations and home furnishings.  Now she will face the consequences for her greed,” stated United States Attorney Peace.  “This Office will continue to vigorously investigate and prosecute corrupt officials who illegally profit from our public institutions.” 

“As this guilty plea demonstrates, the defendant exploited her role in order to take advantage of the taxpayers for her own personal enrichment.  The FBI and our Law Enforcement partners are committed to fighting public corruption and ensuring that those officials who abuse the trust placed in them are held accountable for their actions in the criminal justice system,” stated FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Driscoll.

USDA-OIG Special Agent-in-Charge Dinkins stated, “The School Breakfast Program (SBP) was created to provide food and nutrition to those who truly need this assistance. Those who are involved in fraud and abuse of USDA feeding programs will be investigated by our office to the fullest extent.  This joint investigation identified individuals who sought to profit from the SBP through illegal schemes. The USDA Office of Inspector General will continue to dedicate investigative resources, working with our law enforcement and prosecutorial partners, in order to protect the integrity of these programs and bring to justice those who commit fraud.”

“I am proud of the work of OIG Special Agents and our law enforcement partners in holding Ms. Gardner accountable for her criminal actions,” stated DOE-OIG Special Agent-in-Charge Harris.  “We will continue to aggressively pursue those who misappropriate federal funds for their own selfish purposes.  America’s students and taxpayers deserve nothing less.”

“This defendant leveraged her power as a Hempstead School District official to line her own pockets and those of her co-defendant for nearly two years,” stated Nassau County District Attorney Donnelly.  “Gardner orchestrated the scheme, shirking her responsibilities to follow a legitimate bidding process and handing over the contract to Maria Caliendo, a local restaurant owner who had previously hosted Gardner’s holiday parties. Public funds are precious and finite. Individuals who exploit their positions to access those funds for their own financial gain will be found and prosecuted. I thank our law enforcement partners for their diligent work ensuring these defendants are now held accountable for their crimes.”

“Gardner exploited her position and betrayed the students, parents and taxpayers of the Hempstead School District to enrich herself,” stated Comptroller DiNapoli.  “I thank United States Attorney Breon Peace, Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly, the FBI and the Inspectors General for the Departments of Agriculture and Education for their partnership in holding Gardner accountable for her actions.”  

According to court filings and facts presented at the plea proceeding, Gardner, in her capacity as the Director of Food Services for HUFSD, helped secure lucrative contracts for Caliendo’s company, Smart Starts, to provide prepackaged breakfast meals for Hempstead public school students.  In exchange, Caliendo kicked back a portion of the contract proceeds totaling more than $100,000 to Gardner through fraudulent payroll deposits and other payments.  To conceal the illegal nature of the arrangement, those payments were deposited into a bank account that was created in the name of one of Gardner’s family members.  The kicked back funds were spent by Gardner on international vacations, a leased vehicle, and home furnishings.  Approximately $13,000 in kicked back funds were also withdrawn by Gardner in cash from ATMs located near her home and workplace.

To all of our partners, thank you for your commitment to our Bronx residents and families. We could not have done this without your generosity, and we hope to see all of you again next year.

 

It is also unfortunate that with a heavy heart, we share news of the tragic passing of Daishawn, 3, and Octavius, 11 months, in the Mott Haven area of the Bronx. Please join me in sending prayers of strength and healing for the family that has been forever changed by this tragedy. In light of this horrific event, we encourage residents to utilize our city's Mental Health resources.

Yesterday, Intro No. 552-A and Intro No. 553-A were signed into law! Every city agency should reflect the diversity of our great city. Intro No. 552-A and Intro No. 553-A will help us dismantle the systemic barriers that have prevented women and people of color from joining the FDNY by requiring the FDNY to report demographic information of members of the fire department at fire companies and special operations unit and requiring the fire department to plan and implement training on diversity, inclusion, anti-discrimination and anti-harassment. I'm proud to have played a role in bringing this important piece of legislation to fruition.

Thank you, Mayor Eric Adams, Speaker Adrienne Adams, Council Member Kevin C. Riley, the NYC Black, Latino, Asian Caucus, the Vulcan Society and everyone else for their support and commitment to equity.

UPCOMING EVENTS

MAYOR ADAMS ANNOUNCES NEW PLACEMENT OF HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND RELIEF CENTER TO ASSIST FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN SEEKING ASYLUM

 

Stewart Hotel to Transition from DSS Shelter to Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced the city will soon open a fourth Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center that will serve asylum seekers arriving in New York City. As the estimated number of asylum seekers in New York City surpasses at least 27,200, this specific humanitarian relief center will assist newly arriving single families with children and provide them with a range of services, in addition to ensuring they can reach their desired destination, if not New York City. This humanitarian relief center will be located at the Stewart Hotel, which will transition in the coming weeks from operating as a New York City Department of Social Services (DSS) emergency shelter and will include 600 rooms to serve asylum seekers. All families currently staying on site will be offered the opportunity to stay at the hotel or move to a different DSS shelter.

 

“As the number of asylum seekers arriving in New York City continues to grow, our top priority remains meeting people’s immediate needs with care and compassion,” said Mayor Adams. “This fourth Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center will provide asylum seekers with a place to stay, access support, and get to their final destination. With over 19,500 asylum seekers currently in our care, a number that continues to grow, it’s clear that we need federal and state support quickly to manage this crisis.”

 

“Over the last few months, we have adapted as the asylum seeker situation requires,” said Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Anne Williams-Isom. “Once open, this will be our fourth Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center that provides a range of services to meet the needs of children, families, and individuals coming to New York City to settle or moving through to their desired destination. Thank you to the teams across government and in our nonprofit sector working together to deliver services each and every day.”

 

“This administration is about finding solutions,” said Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Philip Banks III. “Since the beginning of this crisis, we have met the challenges it brings head-on, and will continue to do so. This is the latest in our comprehensive efforts to care for and support asylum-seeking families however we can.”

 

“Our city remains steadfastly committed to supporting asylum seeking families as they complete their journeys,” said Ted Long, MD, MHS, senior vice president, Ambulatory Care and Population Health, NYC Health + Hospitals. “With this fourth humanitarian center, we build upon the experience and success of our work supporting families with children at the Row Hotel by offering medical care, nutrition, mental health support, language access, connection to schools, technology, and resettlement services. I am proud to be a part of the Adams administration’s unwavering efforts to provide those seeking a better life in our country with compassion and care.”

 

“The latest Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center opening will provide asylum seekers numerous resources in order to support this growing humanitarian crisis,” said New York City Emergency Management Commissioner Zach Iscol. “The city will continue to work diligently to provide a seamless transition into American society.”

 

Since this humanitarian crisis began, the city has — largely on its own — taken fast and urgent action, managing the arrival of a rapidly increasing number of buses across New York City with virtually no coordination from states sending them — opening 56 hotels as emergency shelters and three other humanitarian relief centers already, standing up a navigation center to connect asylum seekers with critical resources, enrolling children in public schools through Project Open Arms, and more.

Senator Rivera on State Attorney General Letitia James’ Lawsuit Against upstate New York Nursing Home Owners and Operators

 

“I commend Attorney General Letitia James for her extensive investigation into the operations of The Villages, a nursing home in upstate New York, and her resulting lawsuit against the owners and operators of the facility who are accused of misusing public money, neglecting the health and safety of both patients and staff, and disregarding regulations to line their own pockets with millions of taxpayer dollars. 

This investigation alleges that these bad actors allowed a deeply toxic environment inside The Villages’ facilities that subjected patients to inhumane treatment, neglecting basic hygiene and nutritional standards for New Yorkers living in their facilities, and failed to ensure adequate staffing and worker protections.

It is deeply disturbing that these patients and their loved ones went through such horrific experiences. It is my hope that aggressive enforcement by the Attorney General’s office on behalf of these families will warn bad actors that New York will hold them responsible and financially accountable if they do not ensure patient and worker safety or if they misuse state dollars meant for health care.

This case highlights the necessity of legislative efforts I worked diligently to pass in 2021, including establishing safe staffing in nursing homes, setting minimums for nursing facilities' spending on direct patient care, and making nursing home ownership and financial interest more transparent.

I am committed to advancing measures to first and foremost ensure the physical and mental well-being of patients at nursing homes and residential care facilities across the State as well as to outlaw exploitative practices by bad actors who through technicalities or loopholes avoid compliance to maximize profit.”
