The city will open a relief center for migrants in Queens, its first in the borough, Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday. 

The relief center opening in the Wingate by Wyndham hotel in Long Island City will serve as an intake center for asylum seekers arriving in the city, Adams said in a press release. 

The center will be the seventh location opened to migrants seeking asylum, housing families with children in 144 rooms, the release said. The hotel will provide migrants with resources and will ensure they “reach their final desired destination if it is not New York City,” the release added. 

Approximately 45,600 migrants have arrived to the city since last spring, the mayor said. 

“As the number of asylum seekers who have moved through our intake process in the last 10 months has now surpassed, the total number of people who were in the city’s shelter system when I took office, it’s clear that New York City is in dire need of more support from our federal partners,” Adams said. “We continue to provide more support to arriving asylum seekers than any other city in the nation, treating people with care and compassion, and this seventh humanitarian relief center will help us continue to do that work.”

In a release, the city said they have opened 85 hotels as emergency shelters. The city added that they have also opened six additional humanitarian relief centers, including one at the Holiday Inn hotel in the Financial District​, which was announced last week.
