Spectrum News: The Adams administration is phasing out two hotels that were used to help house newly arrived asylum seekers.
According to the city, more than 170,000 migrants have left the shelter system over the course of the last two years. That the number of asylum seekers entering the city’s care has declined for the past 18 weeks.
As the numbers drop, by the end of December, the city says it plans to close all 10 of the migrant shelters it opened in several counties around the state.
This comes as the city prepares for an incoming Donald Trump presidency, whose policies could affect immigrants across the five boroughs.
