Thousands of migrant families are bracing to be evicted from their New York City shelter next month under a 60-day-limit rule — while the Big Apple has already flown nearly 20,000 other asylum-seekers elsewhere.
About 3,500 migrant families with children have been warned that after the first of the year, they will have to clear out of the city-run shelter where they’ve been staying and haul their kids and belongings to a Manhattan intake center to reapply for a new spot, thanks to Mayor Eric Adams’ directive in October that requires them to make the move every 60 days.
“The truth is, I don’t know where we’ll go,” said Bianca Guzman, a single mom of four from Venezuela, to The Post on Monday outside the Row Hotel-turned-migrant-shelter in Midtown Manhattan, where she and her kids are staying.
“It is bad to leave because the weather is so cold,” the 32-year-old mother added of her looming eviction, which was originally slated for the day after Christmas.
