Comptroller Brad Lander urged Mayor Eric Adams to suspend the 60-day rule until the end of the school semester.

A New York City policy imposing 60-day limits on shelter stays for migrant families was rolled out haphazardly over the past six months, a new audit by the city's comptroller has found

A New York City policy imposing 60-day limits on shelter stays for migrant families was rolled out haphazardly over the past six months — with issues such as the city failing to notify pregnant women they may be exempt, a new audit by the city's comptroller has found. The city's policy allows families to reapply for shelter beds, although doesn't guarantee another bed.

Responding to Lander's report, the mayor's office says the 60-day eviction notices — along with 30-day notices for single adult migrants — are one of the few tools it has to nudge migrants out of shelters. New York is one of the few cities in the U.S. legally obligated to provide shelter to all people who ask for it, the result of a decades-old legal case. Separately, U.S. schools are legally obligated to enroll immigrant students who are minors, regardless of their parent’s immigration status.
