Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.City administration officials on Thursday can expect a grilling on Mayor Eric Adams’ hotly contested plan to slow growth of the city’s shelter population by limiting stays for single, adult migrants to 60 days., the subject of a Council Committees on Immigration and General Welfare oversight hearing, at 1 p.m. in City Hall.
“I want to know: Where do you think these folks are going to go?” said Councilmember Gale Brewer, chair of the Oversight Committee, who has been monitoring the placement and conditions in migrant shelters.I want to know: Where do you think these folks are going to go?One 60-day notice, with a July date and written in Spanish, suggests the newcomers consider options beyond New York City.
While the 60-day limit likely won’t entirely reverse the breakneck pace, it’s part of the administration’s larger plan to curb the growth by 20%. That would still leave the city with another 55 households entering the shelter system daily, according to OMB’s forecasts, further boosting costs. “We’re talking about $12 billion in addition to what we already need to run this city,” Adams said. “And it's just unfair for New Yorkers to carry that burden.”
