There’s almost no more room at the inn says New York City.

Mayor Eric Adams is seeking a suspension of the city’s “right to shelter” regulation as it struggles to provide housing, food and legal services to over 40,000 migrants with limited federal assistance.

The New York City Law Department submitted an application on Tuesday night requesting that the Big Apple’s decades-old “right to shelter” regulation is modified, explaining that the surge of migrants has placed “unprecedented demands” on the city’s resources.

“Given that we’re unable to provide care for an unlimited number of people and are already overextended, it is in the best interest of everyone, including those seeking to come to the United States, to be upfront that New York City cannot single-handedly provide care to everyone crossing our border,” said Adams in a statement, defending the move.

“Being dishonest about this will only result in our system collapsing, and we need our government partners to know the truth and do their share.”

The city wants the rule waived when “the City of New York acting through the New York City Department of Homeless Services (“DHS”) lacks the resources and capacity to establish and maintain sufficient shelter sites, staffing, and security to provide safe and appropriate shelter,” wrote the Law Department’s Jonathan Pines in the application to Deputy Chief Administrative Judge Deborah Kaplan for the New York City Courts.

“This ongoing flood of asylum-seekers arriving in New York City from the southern border represents a crisis of national, indeed international dimension; yet, the challenges and fiscal burden of this national crisis have fallen almost exclusively upon the City,” he continued.

“These unprecedented demands on the City’s shelter resources confront the City Defendant with challenges never contemplated, foreseeable, or indeed even remotely imagined by any signatory to the Callahan Judgment,” he noted, referencing the 1981 decision that established the right to shelter provision.

Since last spring, the city has received over 73,000 migrants and is currently housing over 44,000 individuals in upwards of 150 “emergency” shelters or hotels.

The city’s total shelter currently stands at 93,000 individuals, over 81,000 of whom are being housing in shelters run by the city’s Department of Social Services, according to the filing.

The migrant population accounts for roughly half that figure and Office of Management and Budget Director Jacques Jiha said earlier during a City Council hearing Tuesday that soon the city “will be caring for more asylum seekers on a nightly basis than we had people in our entire DHS shelter system last year.”

City budget officials estimate Gotham will be on the hook for a $4.3 to $4.5 billion price tag by June 2024.

Less than $40 million has been greenlit by the federal government to help offset the crisis’ costs, even though Adams requested over $650 million.

“The unfortunate reality is that the City has extended itself further than its resources will allow, placing in jeopardy the City’s obligations to manage its finances in order to maintain critical infrastructure and services and provide for the well-being of all of its citizens,” wrote Pines.

Queens Councilman Robert Holden, a Democrat, cheered the move.

“It’s about time, he should have done it a long time ago,” he told The Post.

“There’s tremendous pressure on his administration, there’s no more room at the inn.”

“If you keep saying you have no more room and then you keep taking them, it’s an undue burden on the taxpayers of New York City and his administration,” he said.

“It’s an effort to find an off-ramp to this crisis, which city tax payers should not bear the burden,” said Council Minority Leader Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island). “If not this, then what is the policy through which the migrant crisis comes to an end?

A spokesman for the state Office of Court Administration told The Post their office does not comment on pending action.

Being dishonest about this will only result in our system collapsing

That's racist!

Keep bussing them. Maybe buy a bunch of double deckers from the euros for max efficiency.

They have 4-5 days worth of the illegals crossing and are overwhelmed. Then again it costs NYC over a Billion dollars per mile to build merely an extension of subway line, so incompetent retards gonna incompetently retard.

Scary that there's billions heading across the world to Ukraine when it's sorely needed for other things.

When you call yourself a sanctuary city then having to do sanctuary city things.....

Votes have consequences

Hahaha votes do indeed have consequences. Rot in hell NYC.

What a white supremacist!

Predictions if schit doesn't change

New York City population 2020: 8.8 million
New York City population 2030: 7.2 million, barely above 1930. 400K of them illegals.

Chicago population 2020: 2.74 million
Chicago population 2030: 2.3 million, a million less than in 1930

This means even more of the exiles are moving to your neighborhood.

What a shame.

Can I receive $190 per day in a stipend since I do not ask the city to pay for hotel rooms for me?

Gee who would have thought leaving something like this unchecked would cause problems....But at least they get to virtue signal and say "Look how noble we are!"

Keep sending them to these ****ing cities, expose their hypocrisy.

But glumpf, mean tweets, and abortion.

What, you mean like the left's entire narrative about open borders?It's almost as though this could have all been avoided if they considered the additional burden of an endless wave of migrants.

reported for xenophobia

There's 800K illegals there now...so in reality, double that number.

"...New York City cannot single-handedly provide care to everyone crossing our border..."

When he needs to lie as the centerpiece of his statement, that says it all... New York is FAR from "single-handedly" affected

Oh, no... no no no no! This has been done already and libs will tell you right god damn quick that's not what it means lol.

Nope nope nope
