Mayor Eric Adams has announced that the Roosevelt Hotel will be closing soon.

The hotel has been used as a centralized intake center for newly arriving asylum seekers.

The facility opened in May 2023 during the heights of the international asylum seeker crisis when the city was receiving an average of 4,000 arrivals each week.

The city says the site provided support to migrants such as legal assistance, medical care and reconnection services.

The shelter is one of 53 other emergency shelters set to close by June.
