More than 200 Clinton Hill residents raised concerns about a compound of migrant shelters, with around 4,000 migrants living in a two-block radius, creating the largest concentration outside Randall's Island.
NYC opened over 200 migrant shelters, but the Hall Street complex stands out due to its scale and proximity to a residential area, with additional shelters exacerbating the situation.
Residents and officials acknowledge issues with excess trash, loitering, and homelessness near the Hall Street shelter but also recognize community efforts to support migrants with food, clothing, and asylum applications.
Concerns arise as residents and advocates voice the strain of having such large migrant shelters on one neighborhood, impacting both residents' quality of life and the well-being of shelter residents.
