Traveler temporary lodging

Migrant shelters are facilities providing temporary housing, food, and basic services to people who have crossed borders or relocated within a country.

They may be run by governments, religious organizations, or nonprofits, and range from tent camps to converted buildings.

The city opened emergency migrant shelters to handle the influx of asylum seekers.
