New York City will ease up on its 60-day shelter eviction notices for migrant families with children in kindergarten through sixth grade, Mayor Eric Adams announced on Monday. The measure is intended to prevent young children from changing schools in the middle of the year.
Beneficiaries of the new policy will be granted more time in the city's care, under the same shelter they were assigned for their first 60 days in the system. Under the old law, migrant families who reached their time limits without securing housing outside of city shelters would have to receive new placements at the city's Roosevelt Hotel intake center.
