Mayor Eric Adams stated, "We've turned the corner, and this additional slate of shelter closures we're announcing today is even more proof that we're managing this crisis better than any other city in the nation." He emphasized the impact of smart management strategies, including re-ticketing for 47,000 migrants, as contributing to the city's ability to handle the increasing crisis with effective measures.
The closures include significant facilities like the Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers, though nearly 55,000 migrants remain in the system, primarily families with children. This reflects a reduction from a peak of 68,384 in December 2023 shows the city's ongoing efforts to manage the situation amidst rising concerns over migrant support.
