City and state to enter mediation on right-to-shelter policy with Legal Aid

The city and state on Thursday agreed, for the time being, to negotiate with homeless advocates on solutions to the migrant crisis rather than charging forward with their legal bid to roll back the Big Apple’s decades-old right-to-shelter law.

The latest development in the months-long legal saga over the right-to-shelter, which stipulates the city must provide shelter to anyone in need, came during an Oct. 19 Manhattan Supreme Court conference.
