The closure of two additional migrant shelters reflects a significant downturn in the influx of asylum-seekers into New York City, signaling a shift from earlier surges.
City officials reported that while over 500 new migrants entered the care system from Nov. 11-17, more than 1,100 migrants simultaneously departed, underscoring a major reduction.
A representative for Mayor Eric Adams stated, 'New York City is leading the nation in response to the migrant and asylum seeker humanitarian crisis, providing shelter to thousands of people.'
The city’s concerted efforts through resettlement programs and case management are aimed at optimizing shelter operations to assist migrants in transitioning to their next steps.
