Mayor Eric Adams has handed to the city’s public hospital system control of emergency relief operations for asylum seekers, an internal city memo reveals — bypassing standard oversight procedures for government contracts while spending nearly $100 million on hotel rooms.
An Oct. 13, 2022, memorandum of understanding between City Hall and the New York City Health + Hospitals Corporation — posted to the nyc.gov website in response to THE CITY’s inquiries — details procedures for what Adams calls Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers, or HERRCs.
“H+H shall be responsible for the management and operation of the HERRCs,” the memo states. For its part, City Hall committed to reimburse H+H for the costs of building and operating the centers, which also include the now-dismantled barracks-style shelter at Randall’s Island and a space at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in Red Hook.
It is signed on behalf of H+H by Dr. Ted Long, a senior vice president who heads the city’s COVID testing and treatment operation. Signing on behalf of the mayor was Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Anne Williams-Isom.
Health + Hospitals board meeting materials show that H+H President and CEO Mitchell Katz last fall authorized more than $92 million in spending on Manhattan hotels through spring 2023: $40 million for ROW nyc, $20 million for the Watson, $28 million for the Stewart and $5.8 million for the Wolcott.
H+H is also paying to use a Holiday Inn in Lower Manhattan, as revealed in the ongoing bankruptcy case of the hotel’s operator. That HERRC opened earlier this month.
Huron Consulting Services, LLC — a firm that was also involved in H+H’s COVID testing operations — is getting up to $18.5 million to help open the migrant housing sites. Rapid Reliable Testing, LLC, got approved for an $11.5 million contract for medical triage.

Welcome Biden World !
DEFUND THE POLITICIANS and Roll Back the State...
All future recipients of universal basic income and new Democrat voters.
God forbid someone tell the truth for once
We are all Americans and we are all in this together. One day we are going to regret not having each other's backs.
I Blame the do nothing open borders Democrats for this.
What about the "fruit of the poisonous tree" as they committed a crime crossing the border?
Protecting illegal aliens is absolutely shameful as is not having Medicare for All !
If President Trump was still in office, we wouldn't have this problem.
These people shouldn't be getting over the border to begin with.
GET OFF MY LAWN !!! Unless you're going to mow it.
YOUR OWN TAX DOLLARS vs YOU !
These illegals are getting free health care while needy United state Citizens don't !
The US healthcare system isn't the worst in the developed world for nothing. At least they won't have to pay a few thousand just to get their blood pressure and pulse checked by some doctor who's too busy inputting all kinds of useless statistics into a computer.
Sad ...
@“ These illegals are getting free health care while needy United state Citizens don't !”
Healthcare for all is a communist plot. Survival of the fittest is the American way!
@“ What about the "fruit of the poisonous tree" as they committed a crime crossing the border?”
If crossing the border is a crime, then stealing someone else’s country is a bigger crime. Return to the land of your ancestors and repent, for all you have gained is the result of their crimes. Indians 4:13.
"At least they won't have to pay a few thousand just to get their blood pressure and pulse checked by some doctor who's too busy inputting all kinds of useless statistics into a computer."
Part of the reason YOUR healthcare costs are so high is that the system, by force of law, has to pay for countless millions of illegal freeloaders.
Cut off illegals from ALL healthcare, schooling, money transfers, food, housing, etc. See how fast El Salvador looks like a great place to go back to.
"These illegals are getting free health care while needy United state Citizens don't"
You forgot fee dental, free EBT cards and lawyers too.
Yep, even if you have good insurance hospitals are now pretty useless because if you need to go to the hospital these illegals with all these kids have no papers, no medical history, fake names and they get priority too!!
A good 8 out of 10 the females, many girls as young as 14 are now pregnant.
The doctors have to do every test possible with these ferals, its very expensive and time consuming.
Unless your a gunshot victim, having a major heart attack or stroke your on triage all the way down the hallway to the candy machines, 10 hours, 20 hours watching these illegals come in an get taken care of.
Hell when you get seen or lucky you get a physicians assistant who takes you BP, temperature and tells you "you need to see a doctor"
You then go to another area and sit another 8-20 hours till your name is called.
Thats how it is in The Bronx, Queens and out in the Long Island Forks who are now flooded with these illegals.
Doctors are quitting and moving to Red states and Americans already paying $25K a year health insurance are dying because of all these free services benefits for illegals this invasion !!
The democrats are literally putting Americans last AND killing them
Sorry NY, but you get what you vote for.
The rich and powerful criminal Uni Party organizations take turns raiding our Treasury !

NY Post reader, AKA "Gullible Idiot". Even Emperor Rupert Murdoch finally admitted under oath that his employees lie to create news and protect the bottom line.
Every clock is right twice a day. Or so they say.
When greed becomes more important than human lives.
