• Since its conversion in October 2022, the 1,331-room former hotel has collected over $170 million under the city contract.
• Officials have closed 64 emergency migrant sites to date, including all tent facilities and the Roosevelt Hotel this summer.
• The network peaked at 220 hotels and other sites in early 2023 and has since contracted to just four city-contracted shelters.
• More than 200,000 migrants have transitioned out of emergency housing toward permanent accommodations as arrivals have declined.
