The Hotel Vouchering Program has provided temporary shelter to 7,875 migrant families since its launch in July 2023. However, this initiative is set to end next month as the city is downsizing its migrant response, which includes shutting down several shelters and close to 53 by June. As the number of new migrant arrivals has significantly decreased, Mayor Adams confirmed that existing shelter systems will be adapted to accommodate incoming requests, signaling a shift in resource allocation.
