NYC isn't fulfilling promises to migrant families facing shelter eviction, report says
Mayor Eric Adams' policy forcing migrant families out of local shelters after 60 days has been implemented in a "haphazard" way without adequate written guidelines, training, evaluation and social services, according to a new audit by the city comptroller.
“This is not a policy designed or implemented to help families achieve stable housing and self sufficiency and integrate into our city,” Lander said on Thursday, referring to the. “It was a policy designed to churn people through a system … and to push them out of the shelter system with no regard for where they landed, with no regard for the impact on their kids education, and with no regard for their actual path forward to stable housing, employment and self-sufficiency.
The comptroller also addressed what he called "arbitrary" and previously unknown rules that sometimes subject migrant families with elementary school-age children to frequent moves between shelters.
