Feds might use Greensboro immigrant facility to house displaced Helene survivors, Rep. Kathy Manning says

NOTE: The facility mentioned in this article is a 800 bed facility intended for “unaccompanied immigrant children” and is located in a relatively nice part of Greensboro. More information on the facility in question HERE

GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — A major development could be on the horizon for the currently vacant former American Hebrew Academy in Greensboro.

U.S. Rep. Kathy Manning (D-Greensboro) came to the FOX8 Studios on Friday and disclosed that the unused Greensboro Influx Care Facility could be used for victims of Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina.

“The federal government has a contract to use that influx care center,” Manning said. “It was a former boarding school, and it was to be used for unaccompanied minors, but thanks to the Biden administration’s new border policy, there’s been a drop in the number of unaccompanied minors coming here. That facility has not been used and it’s sitting and available, but it’s going to a variety of steps to make sure the facility can be used for people whose lives have been turned upside down, whose homes are no longer habitable because of Hurricane Helene.”
