UPDATED 10:05 AM ET Dec. 11, 2024
The city plans to close the Floyd Bennett Field migrant shelter in the near future, one of more than a dozen that have shut down or will shut down in the coming months amid a drop in the number of migrants in the city’s care, Mayor Eric Adams announced Tuesday.
Fifteen of the shelters are in New York City, while 10 others are elsewhere in New York state, a press release from City Hall said.
