Story
NYC to Close 25 Migrant Shelters, Including Floyd Bennett Field, by January 2025
Dec 10, 2024, 03:41 PM
New York City is set to close 25 migrant shelters, including the controversial facility at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, as the number of asylum seekers in the city's shelters has decreased for 22 consecutive weeks, reaching its lowest level in over 17 months. The Floyd Bennett Field shelter will close in January 2025, while other shelters, such as those operated by Health+Hospitals on the Upper West Side, will close by February 1, 2025. City officials attribute the reduction in asylum seekers to effective management strategies and advocacy efforts with the Biden-Harris administration.
