Residents in the Bronx voiced their concerns and frustration about a 2,200-bed migrant shelter being proposed without community input. The shelter, which was the subject of Monday night's community meeting, would house over 2,000 men on Bruckner Boulevard in the Mott Haven section. With no vote or opinions from residents, the mayor's Office of Asylum seekers Operations plans to open the shelter as soon as late February. According to officials, the seven-floor facility will have 24/7 on-site security, as well as an 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew. At the heated community board meeting, concerns were raised about prioritizing single men over women and families, potential safety issues and a lack of communication from city officials. read more
