Over the past 6 months, an audit by the New York City Comptroller's Office has claimed that the city's 60-day shelter limit for immigrant families has been implemented "haphazardly" and that the city failed to provide families with critical information.
In January, New York City began evicting immigrant families to alleviate its overburdened shelter system, which is claimed to be overstressed beyond the city's 'breaking point.' A similar 30-day policy is in effect for single men and women.
