Mayor Adams Announces Major Shelter Closures\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has announced the closure of 13 additional migrant shelters across the five boroughs as part of the city\u2019s ongoing efforts to manage the asylum seeker population and reduce costs. Among the facilities slated for closure is the massive shelter at Hall Street in Brooklyn, one of the city\u2019s largest, which currently houses approximately 3,500 migrants. These closures are set to be completed by June 2025.<\/p>\n

This latest round of shutdowns will eliminate around 10,000 shelter beds and builds on last month\u2019s decision to close 25 other emergency sites by March 2025, including major facilities at Floyd Bennett Field and Randall\u2019s Island. By mid-2025, over 20% of the emergency shelters opened during the migrant crisis will be decommissioned.<\/p>\n

Mayor Adams attributed this progress to the city\u2019s asylum seeker management strategies and changes in federal border policies, which have led to a steady decline in shelter populations for 27 consecutive weeks. These measures are projected to save New York City nearly $2.8 billion over the next three fiscal years.<\/p>\n

Mayor Adams: Responsible Management Amid Crisis<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u201cThe policies we implemented and the tremendous work of dedicated public servants show how our administration continues to manage this unprecedented crisis creatively and effectively,\u201d said Mayor Adams. \u201cOur efforts have helped more than **178,000 asylum seekers\u201478% of those in our care\u2014**take the next steps toward the American Dream. We will keep working to help migrants become self-sufficient while saving taxpayer dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n

Community Leader Applauds the Decision<\/b><\/h2>\n

Renee Collymore<\/strong><\/a>, Democratic Liaison for Brooklyn\u2019s 57th Assembly District, which includes Clinton Hill, Fort Greene, and Prospect Heights, has been a vocal advocate for the closure of the Hall Street shelter. The facility had once housed over 4,000 asylum seekers, far exceeding the typical capacity of 400 for most shelters.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy fight was not in vain, and this decision will finally bring some relief to our community,\u201d said Collymore<\/strong>. \u201cMost shelters house up to 400 people who need support, but this one held 4,000. I\u2019m glad to see these individuals will be transitioned into shelters that are more appropriately sized. I commend Mayor Adams for his work. It had to be a daunting task, but he\u2019s getting it done.”<\/p>\n

Criticism of Local Elected Official<\/h2>\n
\n

Collymore added, \u201cHowever, it\u2019s disheartening to see local elected officials like Council Member Crystal Hudson prioritize politics over the well-being of the very people they were elected to serve. She ignored our pleas for months but now wants to act as if she supported these closures all along. This kind of political posturing is exactly why our communities continue to suffer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Collymore\u2019s advocacy included organizing multiple town halls that drew over 2,000 community members and securing media coverage to highlight the community\u2019s concerns. She also arranged a critical dinner meeting between Mayor Adams and local business owners and homeowners, providing firsthand insight into how the oversized shelter was impacting the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Shelters Set to Close Across NYC<\/b><\/h2>\n

In addition to the Hall Street facility, the following shelters are scheduled for closure:<\/p>\n

\u2022BK Way, Brooklyn<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022Holiday Inn Express, Brooklyn<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022The VYBE BK, Brooklyn<\/b><\/p>\n

\u202299 Washington HERRC, Manhattan<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022The Stewart HERRC, Manhattan<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022The Watson HERRC, Manhattan<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022Hotel Nedia, Queens<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022Holiday Inn\/Staten Island Inn, Staten Island<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022Ramada, Yonkers<\/b><\/p>\n

To support the transition, the city plans to open a smaller, brick-and-mortar shelter on Bruckner Boulevard in the Bronx to accommodate single adult males currently housed at Randall\u2019s Island.<\/p>\n

Helping Migrants Toward Self-Sufficiency<\/b><\/h2>\n

Mayor Adams\u2019 administration continues to prioritize helping asylum seekers gain independence. More than 75% of eligible adults have applied for or received work authorization, enabling them to seek employment and reduce their reliance on city resources. Additionally, the city has provided over 53,200 travel tickets to help migrants relocate to their chosen destinations and facilitated more than 781,000 case management sessions to support their search for housing and employment.<\/p>\n

These combined efforts have led to a significant drop in the city\u2019s shelter population, falling from a peak of 69,000 in January 2024 to under 51,000 today\u2014the lowest level in over 18 months.<\/p>\n

Continuing Support for Communities and Migrants<\/b><\/h2>\n

Mayor Adams reaffirmed his commitment to managing the crisis in a way that balances humanitarian support with fiscal responsibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur humanitarian efforts have shown real results,\u201d Adams stated. \u201cWe will keep working to support migrants and ease the burden on our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
