NYC faces backlash over handling of migrant crisis.

Mayor Eric Adams has signed an executive order that temporarily suspends rules around the city’s review process for locating and building new homeless shelters. The executive order comes as the city’s shelter system is at or near capacity, according to aid workers and city officials. The suspension of rules means that the city will not be required to hold hearings or submit to any of the typical approvals or recommendations involved in land use approvals. The siting of homeless shelters typically draws vocal opposition.
