NYC's Migrant Shelter System Faces Challenges as Time Limits Spark Reapplications
TL;DR Summary
Over 3,000 asylum-seekers in New York City have been notified that their time in shelters is up, but about half have reapplied to stay. The city has struggled to accommodate the influx of over 120,000 asylum-seekers in the past year, with about 60,000 currently in city-run shelters. Mayor Eric Adams implemented a policy giving adult migrants 60 days' notice to move out, which has since been extended to families with children and tightened to 30 days for adults without children. Migrants can reapply for shelter if they cannot find alternative housing. The city has issued at least 13,500 notices, with many yet to come due.
