This timeline is very inhumane. It is an unnecessary form of punishment, as 30-days is not enough time to get yourself situated under any circumstance.
Migrants who can show proof of 'extenuating circumstances' may be considered for an extension to stay in the shelter beyond 30-days, which was not required previously.
While these changes will require some adaptation, they will help migrants take the next steps in their journeys, reduce the significant strain on our shelter system, and enable us to continue providing essential services to all New Yorkers.
