Officials with Mayor Eric Adams administration on Thursday said a new 60-day limit on shelter stays for adult migrants is working as intended, with 65% of those in many emergency facilities handed notices about the policy indicating they will make a plan to leave the system.
The remarks came during a City Council hearing examining the relatively new policy, which Adams rolled out last month as a means of providing more shelter space to families with children as the city has become completely overwhelmed by asylum seeking migrants.
