Mayor Eric Adams’ plan to show tough love to migrants appears to be working — with 20% of asylum seekers returning to the Big Apple’s overburdened shelter system after being given a 30 or 60-day vacate notice, new City Hall figures shows.

Of the roughly 4,800 migrants whose stay-limit notices expired as of Sunday, approximately 980 have reapplied to remain in the city-run shelter system, according to the data.

In total, about 13,500 asylum seekers have been issued 60-day notices and roughly 6,500 others have been handed 30-day notices since the limits were first introduced by the Adams administration last month.

The new data, first obtained by Politico, was evidence that slapping a time limit on migrant stays has been an effective move as the city scrambled to free up bed space in an already-overwhelmed system, City Hall officials said.

The majority of asylum seekers that have been handed out 30 or 60-day notices had secured alternative housing or accepted the Big Apple’s help in getting them to their final destination, according to the officials. That help came in the form of bus and even plane tickets out of NY.

The city has been doling out the notices to single adult migrants in makeshift shelters scattered across the five boroughs since September in a bid to get a handle on the relentless influx of asylum seekers pouring in.

The policy was initially set for 60 days but was quickly chopped in half to limit adult migrants to a 30-day stay.

After reaching their deadlines, the migrants have to return to the city’s main intake center at the Roosevelt Hotel shelter in order to get back into the system.

The Adams administration revealed last week it would be forging ahead with controversial plans to force asylum seeker families with kids in emergency shelters to now reapply for housing every 60 days.

Currently, the city has more than 65,000 asylum seekers in its care spread out at more than 200 shelter sites across Gotham, the latest City Hall figures show.
