A Manhattan judge announced on Tuesday that the city will be moving forward with its decision to lift the right-to-shelter mandate in some capacity.
The right-to-shelter mandate requires the city to provide shelter to anyone who needs it, but recently city officials have been asking that the court re-examine this 40-year decree, so it applies only to homeless New Yorkers, not migrants.
The city sent its first letter in May, kicking off these proceedings, asking permission from the court to suspend the right to shelter whenever the city "lacks the resources and capacity to establish and maintain sufficient shelter sites."
