Each contract is different, so there is no clear timeline for how long these New York City houses of worship will be used to house migrants.
Elim International Fellowship will be one of the 50 faith based centers that will house migrants, and Archbishop Blount said they are eager to get started."The ministry building was originally a convent, so it was originally built to house people," Blount explained. "So we have space where we can house people, we have space where people can gather in public space."
Migrants living at a shelter in Queens say they were targeted by a group of aggressive, right-wing protesters this week who demanded they go bak to where they came from."I think these faith centers will give not only a place to sleep at night, but also act as a source of strength, comfort and hope to be able to [help migrants] acclimate to society.
