NYC Struggles to House Migrants, Turning to Unconventional Solutions.
TL;DR
A former public school on Staten Island is preparing to welcome 300 migrants, with the first dozen arriving on Saturday. Some local politicians have criticized the move, saying that surrounding neighborhoods received little notice and no assurances that the new arrivals were properly vetted. The city is struggling to find housing for migrants, with plans to potentially use a former military airfield in southeast Brooklyn also facing opposition from local politicians.
