The controversial migrant shelter at Brooklyn’s Floyd Bennett Field will be shuttered in January as the number of asylum seekers in the Big Apple plummet to the lowest levels in more than 17 months, City Hall officials said.

The Floyd Bennett Field location is one of 25 city-run emergency shelters across the city and upstate New York that have either already been closed or will be shut down in the coming months, Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday.
