Randall's Island Humanitarian Emergency Response And Relief Center Is Shown To Media By NYC Officials

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - OCTOBER 18: Beds are seen in the dormitory during a tour of the Randall's Island Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center on October 18, 2022 in New York City. The construction of the relief centers began after NYC Mayor Eric Adams, who declared a state of emergency due to continued arrivals of migrants, announced their relocation to Randall's Island from Orchard Beach in the Bronx after concerns about flooding. The tent-like structures will provide temporary housing to 500 asylum seekers that are being bused into the city by the Republican governors from border states. (Photo by Michael M.
