New York City limits single adult immigrant shelter stays to 30 days in a deal with homeless advocates.
New York City has agreed to limit the stays of single adult immigrants in city shelters to 30 days, as part of a deal with homeless advocates. The city's "right to shelter" policy, which guarantees a place to stay for all homeless New Yorkers, has been challenged amid an influx of over 180,000 migrants since 2022. The settlement follows months of mediation under New York Supreme Court judge Gerald Lebovits.
