Controversy Surrounding Motel 6 Displacement in Monroe County

Monroe County in New York responded to claims of poor sanitation at Motel 6 in Gates, where they had been relocating families. The county terminated the placements due to violations of sanitation code and Motel 6's refusal to continue housing the families. The county denies throwing out residents' belongings and asserts that alternative placements were provided. However, a county legislator called for greater transparency and accountability in future emergency shelter placements, demanding inspection reports and information on contracts. The owner of Motel 6 disputes the claims of unsanitary conditions and alleges a lack of communication from the county. The county stated that they would reconsider partnering with Motel 6 if it meets sanitation standards.
