The homeless living in the HELP Meyer shelter on Randall’s Island are a short distance from the new tent city Mayor Eric Adams has put in place for migrants.
Outraged residents have compared their home base to that of the migrants and are complaining that the migrants are receiving preferential treatment over current New York residents.

The New York Post shares information from one of the residents, Brian Hines, age 36, and a Brooklyn native, who said, “The smell is awful on every floor. The bathrooms are terrible with piss everywhere and s..t everywhere. There are flies in the bathroom.”

Hines was fuming when he learned what the migrant’s tent homes had for amenities. He said, “They’ve got Xboxes? Get the f.. outta here!” “The building I’m in is so f..king awful. The tents look five times better,” he lamented.

The migrants don’t have to do anything other than relax on comfortable couches and watch one of several flat-screen TVs. A lounge is fitted with various video games, foosball, and ping pong tables. On the other side, New Yorker homeless are treated to a nearly empty TV room with hard plastic chairs with mold, according to the New York Post article.

Ricardo Charles, 39, another resident o HELP Meyer, says, “Nobody really goes into the TV room because there’s just one TV, so you can’t really choose what you want to watch, and the chairs are uncomfortable.” He added, “You can feel the springs in the mattress.”

Mayor Adams said in an October 6 radio interview, “I’m never going to take away the resources that are for those New Yorkers in need of services.” “We’re not doing that, and we should not have to pit against the migrants and non-migrants.” He continued.
HELP USA, the organization providing homeless services to the HELP Meyer shelter, had no comment.
