The new settlement relieves the city of certain obligations to shelter childless adult migrants during the existing state of migrants emergency.
, New York City has reached an agreement with the Legal Aid Society that will enable the city to limit stays in shelters for some adult migrants for 30 days without offering them a chance to reapply.
According to Legal Aid and the Adams administration, not all adult migrants seeking to stay in city-run shelters past 30 days will be given the ability to reapply -- as current policy has allowed for months -- except under a pair of narrow circumstances.Those two conditions are said to allow a shelter extension if a migrant is disabled, or has an"extenuating circumstance." The parameters of the latter rule weren't made immediately clear.
The settlement"also requires the City to immediately eliminate the use of waiting rooms as shelters where new arrivals have been sleeping on chairs and floors while they wait for shelter placement,” Holder said.
