City Hall announced the closure of Randall's Island migrant camp by the end of February, noting a significant drop in the number of migrants in shelters.
Mayor Eric Adams emphasized the administration's 'smart management strategies' and services connecting migrants to support as instrumental in addressing the crisis.
The historic height of Randall's Island shelter reached 3,000 residents, reflecting the scale of the city's response to the migrant situation, which has been contentious.
The city plans to restore the athletic fields and parkland once the camp is cleared, though the timeline for reopening remains uncertain.
