3. Rules are changing once more for single adult migrants in the city’s overworked shelter system.
Single migrants in the city’s shelter system are about to once more be met with some unwanted rule changes. According to reports, the previously shortened 30 day stay rule is being shortened once more. It comes as the city struggles to house everyone including everyday New Yorkers.
“We anticipate that in the next several weeks we will be rolling out the timeline for the 30-day notices for adults in the DHS system,” New York City Department of Social Services Molly Wasow Park testified Monday, adding, “with the understanding that we will work with individuals who still need assistance at the end of 30 days.”
