The Row NYC, which served as New York City's last migrant hotel, is scheduled to close. This venue transitioned into a migrant shelter in 2022 during the city's migrant crisis, accommodating thousands of asylum seekers. The shelter had previously housed individuals without homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mayor Eric Adams highlighted the city's response, stating that more than 200,000 migrants have moved successfully towards self-sufficiency since the administration opened numerous emergency shelters. The Row's closure represents the final closure of 64 city-run emergency shelters established during this crisis.
