"It is my vision to take the next step to this faith-based locales and then move to a private residence," Adams said Monday, adding that funding for housing migrants could be paid to residents. "They have spare rooms."

Adams's suggestion comes as the city continues to navigate housing migrants who have come from the southern border. The mayor claimed New York City has supported 72,000 migrants but can't continue to support all the migrants who have arrived. A report last week detailed how migrant children are throwing "ragers" in hotel rooms and staff, whose hotels have been completely shut down to house migrants, have caught children drunk and with weapons.
