A new migrant shelter is set to open this month inside a former dorm at Manhattan College in the Bronx. Lawmakers and residents in the area say they received little to no information at all from the city regarding the plan. Bronx Councilmember Eric Dinowitz says NYC Mayor Eric Adams told him that the Riverdale shelter on West 238th Street would officially be opening. Apparently, the shelter will be run by WestHab, an affordable housing developer.
Residents are also worried about how this will affect the neighborhood. "We should prioritize the construction and renovation of housing over shelters," Dinowitz says, and that instead, the Adams administration has chosen to incentivize the use of shelters. In another statement on X, Dinowitz said that WestHab would work with the Department of Education to help enroll school-aged children in the appropriate school.
