"Roxbury Migrant Shelter Reaches Capacity, Boston Considers New Sites"

Boston is considering using a Fort Point office building in the Seaport neighborhood as a potential shelter for migrants as the Melnea Cass Recreational Center in Roxbury nears capacity. The city is working with the state and other partners to ensure residents have an opportunity to learn more and provide feedback regarding any proposed shelter sites, while prioritizing minimal disruption to area residents. Some residents are supportive of the idea, while others have raised concerns about the lack of vetting process for migrants. The city is also considering other potential overflow sites, including a hotel on Morrissey Boulevard, as tax dollars and shelter space are stretched thin.
