New York City to Close Major Migrant Shelters Amid Declining Arrivals
New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced the closure of 25 migrant shelters in response to decreasing shelter use as new arrivals drop.
Overview
Mayor Eric Adams revealed plans to close 25 shelters housing migrants as numbers of new arrivals decline. The Floyd Bennett Field shelter, housing over 2,000, will shut by January, prompted by concerns over the incoming Trump administration's immigration policies. Despite criticism over the swift closures and inadequate notice to families, the administration emphasizes savings and efficient management. Advocates call for protecting migrant rights during the transition. As of now, the city's shelter system houses about 55,000 migrants, a significant decrease from earlier peaks, mirroring trends in other U.S. cities.
