The sharp decline in migrant arrivals has led New York City to close seven more emergency shelters, totaling eleven closures in just one month amid a drop in migrants.
City officials reported a significant contrast from January's weekly influx of 4,000 migrants to recent weeks, where new entrants are dramatically outnumbered by departures.
Mayor Eric Adams' spokesperson highlighted the city’s effective migrant management programs, affirming that over 167,000 migrants have been assisted in moving out of the city’s shelters.
As the city reopens some emergency shelters as tourist accommodations, it raises concerns about the impact of the migrant crisis on New York's tourism industry.
