GREENSBORO, N.C. — A migrant facility for unaccompanied children is set to be "operational" in Greensboro, according to city leaders.
Mayor Nancy Vaughan said it will be "operational" on March 15 — meaning that it is ready to receive unaccompanied children, but the US Department of Health and Human Services hasn't set a date for when they could arrive.
The property is planning to house up to 800 children both boys and girls between the 13 and 17 who entered US border custody without their parents or legal guardians.
The facility in Greensboro has more than two dozen buildings, sports fields, and an athletic center on a green campus near a lake. The site will offer migrant children educational, recreation, mental health support, and medical services.
