.NYCMayor said he's looking to open up his own residence at Gracie Mansion to house asylum seekers as a way to incentivize private homeowners to take migrants into their homes in exchange for payment from the city.
“I was speaking with the staff to see if I could put a few families into Gracie Mansion. You know, I’m a big believer in leading from the front,” Hizzoner said during an unrelated news conference on June 6.
He noted offering up his own home to help shelter the tens of thousands of migrants in the five boroughs is yet another case of him leading by example, just like when he tours the subways to encourage homeless individuals to move into shelter or when he slept overnight in a Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center earlier this year.
