The city will soon move thousands of homeless New Yorkers out of dozens of hotels and back into congregate shelters due to “greatly improved” pandemic metrics, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Wednesday.
The move — which would move about 8,000 homeless people out of 60 hotels — comes after the Big Apple has seen record-low COIVD-19 levels and the Empire State’s pandemic restrictions were lifted on Tuesday as 70 percent of adult residents received at least one vaccine dose, according to federal data.

Hope they’re all registered to vote.
Good luck with that
Imagine the shape of all those hotel rooms.
And if they refuse to leave?
I heard they were great tippers . . . always tipping over the furniture. How many millions were lost replacing broken furniture and soiled mattresses? Likely the rugs had to all go and the rooms fumigated.
What are the shelters? The same ones that the homeless left behind when they went to the hotel? The article referred to “congregate” shelters. What are those? Does the city provide toilet and bathing facilities for the homeless? Medical care?
Don’t mind the maggots.
how very altruistic of DeBlasio - no, nothing to do with tourist high-season, nah.
Austin has bought a few hotels for the homeless and funny thing is, they say that the majority of the homeless refuse to live there. Something about they don’t want to quit drinking and doing drugs. Too weird.
Heaven help the property owners and management teams on the front lines. That will be Hazardous Duty in several ways.
Maybe it will work for a while.
Exactly. The reason they are “homeless” in the first place is because they want to live sans rules.
It is the ruling of the New York Superior Court that they must be giving the same level of care they have become accustomed to so all of youse head over to the Marriot Marquis and order room service now!
