migrant shelter
Displaced persons facility
A migrant shelter is a facility providing temporary housing and basic services to people who have crossed international borders, typically those seeking asylum or recently arrived without permanent legal status.
These shelters offer food, beds, and often medical care or legal assistance: The city opened a migrant shelter in the old hotel.
They may be run by governments, nonprofits, or religious organizations, and often appear in border regions or cities receiving large influxes of newcomers.
