In her State of the City address, NYC Speaker Adams unveiled comprehensive proposals aimed at tackling the city's pressing issues, including the housing crisis, job vacancies, and the support for asylum seekers. Adams announced plans to create pathways for CUNY graduates into civil service careers, partner with DC37 to fill vacant city jobs, and utilize the Fair Housing Framework law to ensure every district contributes to solving the housing crisis, highlighted by NYC's apartment vacancy rate at 1.4%, and less than 1% for the most affordable units. Additionally, she outlined initiatives to increase housing production, expand homeownership, and deepen affordable housing. The city also launched the Homes Now, Homes for Generations campaign, aiming for deeply affordable, community-centered housing with a $2 billion investment. Amidst these developments, NYC Mayor Eric Adams reached a settlement to modify the right-to-shelter law, allowing the city to limit shelter stays for single adult migrants to 30 days, a decision that has sparked debate among advocates and officials, as the city has been managing an ongoing national humanitarian crisis, providing shelter and care to approximately 183,000 new arrivals.
In her State of the City, @NYCSpeakerAdams acknowledged the need for greater collaboration to support asylum seekers. Lisa Rivera, @NYLAG CEO, is confident the Council's New Arrivals Strategy Team will forge a plan to provide our newest New Yorkers with the support they deserve. https://t.co/Qipe5rmzxP

Some people have taken full advantage of NYC kindness and the right to shelter law and NYC taxpayers. That law was set up place for homeless New Yorkers, not migrants . Now that parts of the right to shelter law have been changed , it probably saved NYC from going bankrupt if…

NYC Mayor Adams just announced changes to the “Right to Shelter” law. Single, adult migrants have 30 days to leave the shelters. You thought the subway was bad before? Wait until tens of thousands of men are on the street with no connection to America and nothing to their name. https://t.co/3c27OH7KEO
New York City Mayor Eric Adams scored a modest victory in his fight against right-to-shelter rules, securing greater flexibility as his administration struggles to house thousands of migrants from the Texas border https://t.co/4Uf6ym3CiH
Single adult foreign migrants won’t be able to stay in city shelters for longer than 30 days — and won’t be able to reapply absent a demonstrated extenuating circumstance necessitating a short additional stay. Exceptions for young and old migrants. https://t.co/nfKMVFTqRh

NYC’s Mayor Adams reaches settlement in fight to roll back right-to-shelter https://t.co/70ox3zKxFV
New: "The settlement also requires the elimination of the use of 'waiting rooms' as shelter." Otherwise, seems like the current situation will generally continue, with 30 and 60-day shelter limits, and migrants allowed to reapply after that, on an individualized basis. https://t.co/FAUOPe9qgy
Reading through the agreement, which appears on surface to be a loss for Adams admin -30/60 day rule for singles only implemented for initial intake - no more waiting rooms - no mention of time caps for families - eliminates backlog of people waiting for shelter https://t.co/ddOl8RiZ9r

When we invest in housing, the return is great—for public safety, for healthy communities. Social housing has the power to put people over profits, preventing displacement and keeping New Yorkers in their homes. More by Council Member @CabanD22 ⬇️ #HomesNowHomesForGenerations https://t.co/XE2jgGuBaR
Every public dollar NYC spends should to go housing that brings equity into the community—not just to a developer. By treating housing as a public good rather than as a vehicle for profit, we can ensure that all New Yorkers have a home they can afford. https://t.co/Xq2LCGmy90
