After harsh criticism of Mayor Adams’ administration for evicting pregnant women or women with newborns from immigrant shelters for the 60-day limit, the city implements a temporary exemption that benefits these families.
The Adams government began last week to implement the measure of the 60-day limit that migrants have to stay in a city shelter.
The city said that some 1,600 migrant families would have to leave the shelters at the end of the month.
Now, with the new measure, families who have a pregnant woman who is at least three months pregnant will not be forced to leave the shelters. The same for those who have a newborn – at least until they are six months old.
