New York City officials are planning to eliminate 10,000 beds for migrants by closing various shelters, including the large shelter in Brooklyn that housed up to 4,000 people.
The closures are part of a broader strategy in response to declining migrant arrivals, with the city now housing around 51,000 migrants, down from 69,000 last January.
City officials have indicated that the closure of 46 migrant shelters by June is expected to save billions of dollars in the city's budget, amidst ongoing discussions about resource allocations.
With the decline in migrant arrivals, the city faces the challenge of finding alternative housing for thousands of individuals who will be displaced by the shelter closures.
