In an effort to provide more housing to the influx of migrants entering the city, Stewart Hotel in Manhattan is being transitioned from a Department of Social Services shelter to a humanitarian relief center, City Hall announced Tuesday evening.

The updated center will now provide more resources for asylum seekers, including 600 hotel rooms, according to a press release.

Stewart Hotel, located on Seventh Avenue, is one of the 56 hotels serving as emergency shelters in the city, and it will soon be one of four humanitarian relief centers in the five boroughs, Mayor Eric Adams said.

“As the number of asylum seekers arriving in New York City continues to grow, our top priority remains meeting people’s immediate needs with care and compassion,” Adams said in a statement Tuesday. “This fourth Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center will provide asylum seekers with a place to stay, access support, and get to their final destination.”

Humanitarian relief centers are “the first touch point for arriving asylum seekers, helping people by immediately offering shelter, food, medical care, case worker services and a range of settlement options,” Mayor Eric Adams said in a September statement.

Officials estimate at least 27,000 asylum seekers have arrived in the city since Texas Gov. Greg Abott began sending buses of migrants to New York earlier this year. On Tuesday, the mayor said 19,500 asylum seekers are in the care of the city, calling on the state and the federal government to provide more support.

The city has been struggling to meet the demand for temporary housing as the number of migrants continues to grow. The city’s shelter system denied dozens of men temporary housing in September, in violation of the city’s right-to-shelter law, according to the Legal Aid Society.
