David Novarro has more on the agreement that alters a law made decades ago.The legal agreement between New York City and homeless advocates scales back the decades-old 'Right to Shelter' law as the city tries to find housing for thousands of migrant adults.
In announcing the settlement, Adams said the city's shelter system had fewer than 2,500 people in its care when the law went into effect compared to the 120,000 people today. More than half of them are migrants. The new rules are temporary, as they will only exist as long as the migrant crisis continues and apply only to new arrivals who are single adults.
