NYC Public Schools and Hotels Converted to House Asylum Seekers and Migrants

Three public schools in New York City will be used to house incoming asylum seekers, as the city scrambles to find shelter for the increasing number of migrants. The Roosevelt Hotel has already opened 175 rooms for families, with plans to open an additional 675 rooms later this week. However, the decision to convert schools to shelters has raised safety concerns, with the New York City School Safety Coalition asking Mayor Eric Adams to find other places to house the migrants. The move has also been criticized for the lack of communication and planning.
