New York City will allow migrant families with children in kindergarten through sixth grade to stay in the same shelter past their 60-day eviction notices if needed, Mayor Eric Adams announced on Monday.
Under the new policy, migrant families who need more time in the city’s care will remain in the same shelter they were assigned to for their first 60 days in the system. Previously, migrant families who reached their time limits without securing housing outside of city shelters would have to receive new placements at the city’s Roosevelt Hotel intake center.
