Officials in Boston are considering an office building in the Fort Point neighborhood as a potential site for a new migrant shelter. This move comes as the state's shelter system is overwhelmed by an influx of migrants, particularly evident in the Seaport area. The governor's office is actively searching for empty office spaces that could serve as housing for the migrant families, with the Fort Point location emerging as a strong candidate. The consideration of this building aligns with efforts to address the capacity issues faced by existing shelters, such as the one in Roxbury, which is currently at maximum capacity.
