Immigrant families with children currently residing in New York City’s shelters will now only be allowed to stay for 60 days under a new measure announced by Mayor Eric Adams on Oct. 16.

The new rule comes as New York has welcomed more than 126,000 illegal immigrants since last year—many of them without housing or employment—which has placed a significant burden on shelter systems across both the city and state.
