NYC to order migrant families with children to leave shelters after 60 days, sources say
New York City is expected to announce that migrant families with children must move out of their assigned homeless shelter after 60 days and reapply for shelter, according to a person close to discussions on the policy, a move that’s likely to disrupt the lives of the youngest shelter residents.Friday morning and confirmed by a person briefed on the decision at City Hall but not authorized to publicly speak on the matter.
The Legal Aid Society and the Coalition for the Homeless issued a statement condemning such a policy. The city has a litany of rules for how it manages homeless shelter standards, ranging from the guarantee of clean linens and properly spaced beds, to how often residents are required to check in with a case manager.
“Adding arbitrary 60-day time limits for when people are supposed to find a home in the richest city in the world is absurd and it’s the kind of weaponization of bureaucracy against very poor people that none of us should accept,” Hughes added. The cycle of potentially being moved far from their schools would presumably repeat itself in another 60 days, when families would again be asked to move out again and reapply for shelter.
