NYC opens two new migrant shelters
As New York City continues to look for places to house migrants, two new facilities are opening in Manhattan and Brooklyn. But as more and more migrants arrive in the city, costs are continuing to rise, along with frustration over the shelters' placements.
NEW YORK - New York City is opening two new emergency migrant shelters as the number of asylum seekers entering the city since last spring tops 51,000.
One site will be located in Times Square’s vacant Candler Tower office building, which was once home to the country’s busiest 24-hour McDonald’s before it closed during the pandemic.
The second shelter will open in a six-story commercial building on 455 Jefferson Street in Brooklyn.
