The city will open an arrival center for asylum seekers in Midtown, Mayor Eric Adams said in a press release Saturday.

According to the release, the center will be located at the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, which has been closed for almost three years.

The city said the new asylum seeker arrival center is the first of its kind in the five boroughs.

The release said migrants at the center will have access to legal, medical and reconnection services, and can also be placed in a shelter or humanitarian relief center if needed.

Asylum seekers already under the city’s care will also have access to the arrival center, the release said.

According to the release, the Roosevelt Hotel will also serve as a “Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center,” the ninth of its kind opened by the city.

Later this week, the hotel will open up 175 rooms for children and families “until it is scaled to approximately 850 rooms,” the release said. An additional 100 to 150 rooms will be held for asylum seekers who are traveling to other locations.

According to city officials, the city has welcomed more than 65,000 asylum seekers, and opened up over 140 emergency shelters and eight humanitarian centers.

The announcement comes two days after pandemic-era U.S. asylum restrictions, known as Title 42, were lifted by the federal government.

Adams on Saturday renewed calls to the state and federal government for additional support for the crisis.

“While this new arrival center and humanitarian relief center will create hundreds of good-paying, union jobs and provide the infrastructure to help asylum seekers reach their final destination, without federal or state assistance, we will be unable to continue treating new arrivals and those already here with the dignity and care that they deserve,” Adams said in the statement.

Locations in other boroughs are also being set up to help asylum seekers.

City officials have set up an emergency site for asylum seekers inside a gymnasium at an elementary school in Brooklyn.

In addition, sources at City Hall confirmed to NY1 that a vacant former school on Staten Island will be ready to house asylum seekers starting Saturday, as the New York Post first reported.

On Friday, Gov. Kathy Hochul sent a letter to President Joe Biden asking for additional federal aid, as well as support to find additional sites to house migrants.

Earlier this week, Adams issued an executive order suspending sections of the "right-to-shelter" law, which requires the city to provide shelter to anyone in need.
