"NYC's Migrant Crisis: Education and Shelter Threatened as Beds and Support Fade"

Migrants in New York City are struggling to find beds as the city quietly stops offering shelter to some individuals. Under a court settlement, the city is legally obligated to provide a bed for every homeless person who requests one. However, the city is no longer guaranteeing beds for single adults who have reached the 30-day or 60-day limit at any one migrant shelter. As a result, migrants are left searching for places to stay, with some resorting to sleeping on the floor of waiting areas. The city's push to get migrants to move out of shelters has been met with mixed success, and the recent closure of five shelters due to fire-code violations has exacerbated the housing crisis. The city is now considering issuing sleeping bags and tents to migrants and allowing them to camp in designated areas.
