As of June 24, New York City has transitioned its migrant shelter system, which previously operated under a two-tier model, to utilize the Department of Homeless Services' (DHS) regular intake centers. This change follows the closure of the Asylum Seeker Arrival Center at the Roosevelt Hotel. Migrant families and individuals are now directed to specific intake offices based on their circumstances to seek shelter. City officials announced ongoing operations of limited temporary emergency shelters alongside the closure of 62 migrant shelter sites due to a decrease in new arrivals.
As of June 24, anyone looking for shelter-including newly arrived immigrants-should go to the Department of Homeless Services' regular intake centers, City Limits has learned.
Department of Homeless Services (DHS) traditional intake centers will serve as the starting point for migrants seeking shelter in the city, City Hall explained.
As of June 24, migrant families with children under 21, single pregnant individuals, and families with a pregnant member should go to the Prevention Assistance and Temporary Housing (PATH) office in the Bronx when looking for a bed.
The city has moved to close 62 migrant shelter sites since last June, as the number of new arrivals continues to decline.
