The Roosevelt Hotel, which has served as the city's main intake center for newly arrived asylum seekers for nearly two years, will close in the coming months, Mayor Eric Adams announced Monday.

The Midtown Manhattan site opened in May 2023 as the city faced an influx of more than 4,000 new arrivals per week, according to City Hall. Now, that number has dropped to about 350, Adams said, allowing the city to shut down the hotel-turned-intake hub.

"Today marks another milestone in demonstrating the immense progress we have achieved in turning the corner on an unprecedented international humanitarian effort," Adams said in a video statement sent to NY1. "Our administration has skillfully managed this crisis, which has seen over 232,000 migrants enter our city asking for shelter, and The Roosevelt Hotel has been key in allowing us to effectively manage our operations."

The Roosevelt Hotel served as both the asylum seeker arrival center and a humanitarian emergency response and relief center. In less than two years, over 173,000 migrants—nearly 75% of all migrants entering the city's care—were processed there, receiving legal assistance, medical care and other services, City Hall said in a news release.

As the city moves forward, those services will be "integrated into other areas of the system," officials said.

The closure is part of a broader effort by the Adams administration to scale back its emergency response to the migrant crisis. Already the city has shuttered multiple sites, including the shelter at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn and the Creedmoor humanitarian relief center in Queens.

The closures are thanks to the decrease in the number of migrants in the city's care, which at its peak in January 2024 was more than 69,000, City Hall said. The current number is below 45,000.

Adams said the city plans to close 53 locations within the next year.

Migrants who arrive in the city will continue to receive aid in taking steps toward self-sufficiency, City Hall said.

Already, more than 188,000 migrants who requested aid have been helped, including by assistance with work authorization and job placement, according to the Adams administration. The city has also facilitated over 98,000 applications for work permits, temporary protected status and asylum, and purchased more than 53,200 travel tickets to help migrants relocate elsewhere.

"Thanks to the sound policy decisions of our team, we are able to announce the closure of this site and help even more asylum seekers take the next steps in their journeys while simultaneously saving taxpayers millions of dollars," Adams said.
