Mayor Adams stated, "Thanks to our smart management strategies, 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." This highlights the administration's confidence in its handling of the migrant situation and its impact on the shelter population.
City Hall noted the closure of the Floyd Bennett Field shelter reflects a significant drop in the migrant census to 57,000, the lowest in 17 months, indicating a rapid decline in new arrivals.
The Mayor attributed the decrease in shelter occupants to 'smart management,' including temporary shelter limits and assisting newcomers with transportation to their preferred destinations, showcasing a proactive approach to the logistical challenges.
