homeless shelters

Advocates have criticized the mayor for dragging his feet on eliminating a critical barrier to those seeking to leave city shelters.

The city had previously suspended its lengthy land use review process for the building of emergency relief centers, which are designed to serve as temporary housing for migrants.

The city must shift focus to helping asylum-seekers ‘get out of shelter,’ the report says.

Advocates said the surge could be related to the city’s closure of hotels it used as an alternative to crowded dormitory shelters during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mayor has touted the opening of hundreds of new shelter beds. But homeless advocates have raised questions about what types of beds they are and whether any of them are actually “new.”
