Adult migrants reentering city shelters will have just 30 days for that stay, an administration source familiar told THE CITY, while City Hall is also considering putting migrant families with children on a 60-day clock to leave shelters.
The new, shorter timeframe will apply to migrants in shelters who received one of the 60-day notices the city started sending out in July, with those beginning to come due this Saturday.
Families, including migrant parents with school-aged children, made up 40,600 of the 56,633 people in city shelters“Why would you do that to a family with children who are in school?”Joshua Goldfein, an attorney with the Legal Aid Society, which represents the Coalition for the Homeless, said of the new policy City Hall is considering. “That seems like a terrible idea.”
