Leaders of those same groups said they will continue serving newly-arriving migrants, but without a central hub, for now. Malu said his group will offer a “mobile help desk” as they search for a new location. The city will now direct migrants arriving by bus to a soon-to-open “Arrival Center” at the Roosevelt Hotel on West 45th Street, thereby “streamlining” the intake process for shelter and other services, said Adams’ spokesperson, Fabien Levy.
Levy echoed Adams’ repeated calls for more assistance from the state and federal government, with the cost of housing and serving the newly-arriving migrants,The new Roosevelt Hotel plan marks the latest location where city agencies are attempting to meet with migrants and connect them to shelter, schools and services. It’s one of dozens of hotels citywide drafted into the effort to house tens of thousands of people arriving in New York City with few existing ties.
