New York City will close the Row NYC migrant hotel, which has operated as a shelter since October 2022 at a cost of more than $5 million a month. The contract, expiring in April 2026, has generated over $170 million for the hotel. Mayor Eric Adams noted this closure as a key milestone, stating that the city has assisted more than 200,000 migrants toward self-sufficiency. The drop in migrant arrivals from 4,000 weekly to about 100 has enabled a transition from large hotel use to other shelter options, aligning with national trends.
