Gov. Kathy Hochul says New York's right to shelter law being misinterpreted amid migrant crisis

The New York Shelter for All in Need Equally, or NY SANE Coalition, released and signed five principles for the humane treatment of homeless and migrant New Yorkers.

Among the demands are that families and children in need of shelter must be provided with safe placements and that a statewide decompression plan is implemented using the full authority and resources of the governor's office to deal with asylum seekers and new arrivals. The city and state are scrambling but homeless advocates say this could effectively end the right to shelter for thousands of New Yorkers, including working poor people who rely on the shelter and people who rely on disability benefits.
