New York City Mayor Eric Adams is reportedly considering housing migrants in a shuttered Hudson Valley prison.
He considered the idea in a call with county officials Thursday, as New York City struggles to find accommodations for thousands more asylum-seekers expected to arrive following the expiration of the federal border policy Title 42, according to an audio tape obtained by Politico.
Adams in the call said his administration needs help from neighboring counties as the city has already provided housing, food, and other services to over 65,000 asylum-seekers over the past year.

Adams in the call didn’t rule out the suggestion from Newburgh Supervisor Gil Piaquadio that the mayor consider vacant housing at SUNY New Paltz, as well as the shuttered Downstate Correctional Facility in nearby Fishkill, Dutchess County, Politico,
he intends to relocate 300 recent arrivals to Orange and Rockland counties.
