Gov. Kathy Hochul refused to confirm whether the state is backing Mayor Eric Adams’ push to rescind New York City’s right to shelter rule on Wednesday, as she also dodged questions about SUNY campuses and went back on her previous work papers stance.

During a brief press conference following her appearance at the MTA Headquarters in Lower Manhattan, Hochul said Adams’ move to suspend the city’s “right to shelter” rule in the wake of a deluge of migrant arrivals involved “very complicated legal issues.”

“We’ll see how it unfolds in the courts,” she stated, while noting that her team was “looking at all…assets to help ameliorate the [migrant] problem that is at a crisis level in the City of New York.”

“SUNY campuses are a part of the inventory of what we’re looking at,” she confirmed, as are “closed facilities, closed psychiatric centers, large parks, parking lots.”

Hochul’s comments come amid ongoing outcry over the surge of migrants into the Big Apple in recent weeks. Last week, The Post reported that the city was housing over 41,000 migrants across 150 emergency shelters.

“We have to make sure that they’ll work, the timing works, the students are gone and then we’ll be able to talk to [Mayor Eric Adams] and his team,” the governor said of possible efforts to relocate some migrants to State University of New York facilities throughout the state.

Hochul declined to elaborate on which campuses are being considered, though she said that SUNY Buffalo, SUNY Albany, and SUNY Stony Brook were “certainly part of” the discussions.

“So, you can’t draw any conclusions. We need the time to be able to assess all of the sites, no decisions have been made,” she insisted.

The Democratic governor also explained the apparent reversal of her previous stance that migrants should not travel upstate without work papers.

“Because we’ve not been able to get their work papers. Back then, the mayor and I were asking Washington and our federal representatives to have a change in the work rules. I had hoped that would have happened by now,” she explained.

Earlier this week, Hochul implored the Biden administration to expedite work papers for asylum seekers and slammed the convoluted legal processes that force new arrivals to wait “months, possible years, without legal status.”

“Enough time has lapsed, when I realized — we both collectively realized — that hasn’t happened thus far, if it happens tomorrow, that’s great; but it has not happened,” she continued on Wednesday.

Hochul concluded her remarks by offering Adams a rare show of support, and commended him “managing a very, very difficult crisis.”

“Although the numbers are declining a little bit now, but we had a huge influx — 5800 one week, 4000 the week before,” she claimed.

“[Shelters are] at capacity and now it is time to adjust.”
