Roxbury's New Migrant Shelter Sparks Community Concern

The new temporary migrant shelter at the Melnea Cass Recreational Complex in Roxbury has sparked both empathy and frustration within the community. Local businesses, such as the Caribbean restaurant Fort Hill Bar and Grill, are providing meals and necessities for the migrants, offering a lifeline after the pandemic. However, the shelter has displaced many community programs, leading to activists seeking a meeting with state officials. Despite the controversy, restaurant owner Norvia Pena, who empathizes with the migrants' situation, is finding comfort in providing meals to those who have also been displaced.
