A former employee at New York City’s largest migrant shelter has claimed that hotels involved in resettlement are profiting off the city’s shelter program.
Carlos Arellano previously worked at Row NYC, which was converted from a four-star hotel into the city’s biggest temporary shelter for migrants just under two years ago.
Speaking from personal experience, Arellano claimed the hotel staff at such shelters were expensing the city ‘for any little thing they can.’
‘And when you see 10 workers on the first floor of the lobby of the hotel, only two of them are really working,’ Arellano told Fox and Friends guest host Rachel Campos-Duffy.
‘Meanwhile, the hotel will still charge the city for all 10 staff members, and you really don’t know what’s going on in there until you work in one of these places, but the costs just keep being driven up by the hotels.’
