A former correctional facility in Harlem will temporarily house migrants, after Gov. Kathy Hochul gave the OK.
Over the past week, neighbors started seeing activity at Lincoln Correctional Facility, an former jail in Harlem -- a state facility that Gov. Kathy Hochul gave the OK Sunday to temporarily house migrants.
This building that will temporarily house migrants has a long history. At one point it housed the Young Women’s Hebrew Association. U.S. troops stayed here during World War II, and the New York City Schools used it too. "I think it's important to give people a safe place to live and if people are coming seeking a better life. I think we should take care of them. I think it's good," Simon Vozick-Levinson, of Harlem, said.
