Mayor Eric Adams insisted on Tuesday that migrant children will not be forced to change schools under a new rule that recently arrived families must vacate shelter after 60 days.
City Hall announced its latest limitation on the length of migrant shelter stays on Monday, following previous moves to cap adult new arrivals’ time in shelters first at 60 days, and later at 30 days. Migrants who are unable to find housing outside city shelters within the mandated timespan must apply for another bed at the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, which serves as the city’s migrant intake facility.
