September 22, 2023In early January, when New York City had already seen the arrival of more than 30,000 asylum-seekers, Mayor Eric Adams declared that there was “no more room at the inn.” Adams called on other cities, counties and towns in the state to help shelter new arrivals from the southern border.Nine months later, more than 113,000 asylum-seekers have arrived in New York City since last spring, and the city has opened 208 emergency shelter sites to house them. As of Sept. 10, nearly 60,000 asylum-seekers were still in the city’s care.The Adams administration has now spent months trying to get upstate and suburban counties to take in some of those asylum-seekers. In the spring, the city began sending a relatively small number of migrants to stay in hotels and motels in other counties on the city’s dime.——More than half of New York’s 62 counties have tried to shut their doors to asylum-seekers. Here’s the full list of those counties, followed by a much shorter list of counties that have welcomed asylum-seekers. This post was last updated on Sept. 22, 2023.
Closing their doors:

Erie CountyThe barring of additional migrants to the county was recently made official when a judge granted the Town of Cheektowaga – the only town in Erie County to take in migrants – a temporary restraining order blocking the city and DocGo from sending more asylum-seekers. While no decisions have been made yet, there’s a possibility that Cheektowaga could pursue evicting the migrants currently staying in the hotels.
