Over half of the 12,560 migrant families facing eviction under Mayor Eric Adams' 60-day shelter stay limit have left the shelter system, according to the Gothamist.
Adams defended the 60-day limit, claiming it has successfully prompted families to exit shelters. He also stressed that no families with children have been forced to sleep on the streets.
Critics, however, argue that moving families across boroughs disrupts children's schooling and makes it harder for parents to maintain jobs.
Advocates continue to call for more stable housing options, warning that frequent relocations will cause lasting harm to families and children's education.
