shelter

City lawmakers are looking to remove obstacles or IDNYC and the family shelter intake process

The exemption follows last week's uproar after pregnant migrants were forced to leave shelters where they’d been staying for months.

The Legal Aid Society and the Coalition for the Homeless called on the city to rectify the situation outside a reticketing center in the East Village.

Officials attribute the increase to rising rents for hotels and dwindling shelter space.

The city had previously suspended its lengthy land use review process for the building of emergency relief centers, which are designed to serve as temporary housing for migrants.

Th attorney who led the fight for the landmark right-to-shelter agreement said the legality of the mayor’s order hinges on one crucial concept.

The audit comes as Mayor Eric Adams ramps up his administration’s plans to tackle rising homelessness.

Dozens of homeless New Yorkers sued the city for lost wages and belongings over the end of a pandemic-era policy that placed homeless people in hotels instead of shelters.

The Adams administration now plans to open an emergency relief center for migrants on Randall's Island, after nixing plans for Orchard Beach.

There has been no welcome wagon at Orchard Beach, where the Adams administration planned to house up to 1,000 asylum seekers temporarily. He changed course late Monday, announcing he would instead open the first such site on Randall's Island.
