看了一篇关于 NYC 的新闻 Former Manhattan College dorm could soon house migrants as NYC shelter system buckles
随着寻求庇护者不断涌入纽约市,这座城市的收容系统已经不堪重负,可能很快会将移民家庭安置在 Bronx 区 Manhattan 学院的前宿舍楼中。据 Riverdale Press 周四报道,位于 Riverdale 的 Overlook Manor 现在正在被考虑改为一个收容所,以帮助安置每月抵达该市的 1.4 万名移民。此前,曼哈顿学院翻新了校内住房,决定不再需要额外的空间。于是这座位于 W 238th 街上的 7 层 83 户的红砖建筑于今年早些时候以 1800 万美元的价格被 Stagg 集团购买。
原本打算将宿舍改建成无家可归者的收容所,然而 Stagg 集团的高级副总裁杰伊·马蒂诺在社区委员会会议上宣布该物业管理公司已与家庭服务部 (DHS) 进行了关于“移民住房和家庭”的讨论。该公司的非营利合作伙伴 Praxis Housing Initiative 已经与美国家庭服务部 (DHS) 签订了一份为期 5.3 年、价值 500 万美元的合同。
以下是原文:
Migrant families could soon be housed in a former Manhattan College dorm in the Bronx as the Big Apple's shelter system buckles under the surge of asylum seekers arriving in the city. The Overlook Manor in Riverdale is now being considered as a shelter to help accommodate the 14,000 migrants arriving each month, The Riverdale Press reported Thursday. The 7-story, 83-unit red brick building on W 238th Street was purchased by the Stagg Group earlier this year for $18 million — after Manhattan College renovated its on-campus housing and decided it didn't need the extra space anymore, the local outlet previously reported.
The dorm was set to become a homeless shelter, however, Stagg's senior vice president Jay Martino unexpectedly announced at a community board meeting on Monday that the property management company has been in talks with the Department of Homeless Services (DHS) "as it relates to migrant housing and families."The company's not-for-profit partner Praxis Housing Initiative has secured a $5.3 million-year contract from the DHS, The Riverdale Press reported.
