A recent change in New York policy could grant NYC permission to begin evicting many of the roughly 30,000 migrant parents and children living in Department of Homeless Services shelters.

Anthony Farmer, a spokesperson for the state's Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, said the state has granted the city permission to begin issuing 60-day eviction notices to any family not receiving public assistance.
