"NYC's Migrant Respite Centers: A Solution to Homelessness and Neglect?"

A former employee at the Row NYC hotel in Midtown, which was converted last year to house migrants flooding into NYC, has claimed that the hotel has become a "free for all" of lawlessness and violence, where children are regularly found alone and intoxicated. Hotel staff regularly found children by themselves, often intoxicated, and if a guest’s behavior became so egregious that they got kicked out of the Row, the city would merely process them at Port Authority and send them to another shelter.
