      The Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) confirms they contract locations like Randall's Island, Floyd Bennett Field, and Creedmoor psych facility for asylum seekers through a longstanding citywide requirements contract.

      • The sites are under a citywide requirements contract with DCAS.
      • The contract in question was established about a decade ago, initially in response to Hurricane Sandy.
      • The original registration of the contract dates back to around 2014.
      • Despite the contract's existence, DCAS clarifies they do not manage the operation of these locations.
