NYC shutters 2 more migrant shelters, including one that housed 400 families, due to ‘resettlement efforts’

Two more city migrant shelters have closed up shop as the flood of asylum-seekers into the Big Apple continues to plummet.

More than 400 families were being sheltered at the 19-story, 506-unit complex at 1760 Third Ave. at East 97th Street, once a massive dormitory for CUNY Hunter and Baruch College students and other education entities.

Meanwhile, the El Rancho hotel at 37-01 White Plains Road in The Bronx had served 15 families.

Both ceased operating as migrant shelters last week, city officials said.

A representative from El Rancho said the hotel, which is now empty, will start renovations to prepare for reopening again as a commercial hotel.
