The Adams administration is rolling out major changes to its shelter policy for single adult migrants.
Those who have received 30- and 60-day notices to leave the shelter system will now be prohibited from re-applying for new housing, unless they are able to show an “extenuating circumstance.”
This includes migrants who have found a different place to live but can’t move in for 30 days. Or, if they plan to leave the city or have an immigration hearing within 30 days.
Murad Awawdeh, the executive director of the New York Immigration Coalition, joined NY1 political reporter Bobby Cuza on “Inside City Hall” Friday to discuss more.
