New York City Implements 30-Day Shelter Limit for Migrants

New York City has implemented new rules in its homeless shelters, requiring adult migrants without children to reapply for beds after 60 days. The city has issued about 13,000 notices of the 60-day limit, causing confusion and anxiety among migrants. Mayor Eric Adams recently announced that the time limit for migrants who reapply for shelter would be reduced to just 30 days. As thousands more migrants arrive at the southern border and potentially head to New York, the city is struggling to house the increasing number of migrants, with over 60,000 currently in its care. The city has opened more than 200 emergency shelters, but the situation remains chaotic and uncertain for migrants seeking shelter.
