60 Day – Manana Otrodia

If you've received a 60-day notice to leave your current shelter in New York City, here's what you need to know:

You have the right to shelter in NYC.
A case worker should assist in creating an exit plan.
Consider living with friends, family, or other networks.
The city can support moves to other cities or states.
Families with medical needs (ex. pregnancy or serious illness) may request accommodation with a doctor’s note to herrcra@nychhc.org.

If you are still in need of shelter after 60 days, the city must provide a new shelter as many times as you need.
Reapply at The Arrival Center, The Roosevelt Hotel (45 E 45th St, New York, NY, 10017).
Provide the case worker with a copy of your child’s school, school address and child’s OSIS number (9 digit student ID number) and request a shelter near the school.
Inform your child’s school about any moves or changes.

If your child receives special education services, the new school must continue them.
If your child is in the process of getting special education evaluations and transfers to a new NYC school, the new school must complete the evaluation process within the same timeline, unless you agree to an extension.
If you move outside of NYC, the new school must give your child “comparable” (the same or similar) special education services

Each NYC school has a Students in Temporary Housing Liaison, reach out to your school to find your liaison. If moving outside NYC, reach out to the Liaison in your new district.
STH Resource Guide has information about NYC’s public services for families of students living in temporary housing.
If your child is struggling in school or experiencing discrimination, call Advocates for Children to speak with an education specialist.
