BOSTON - It's been confirmed that 24 Farnsworth Street in the Fort Point neighborhood of Boston's Seaport will be the next overflow shelter for up to 100 migrants, and beyond that, neighbors in the area are eager for more information.

"We have no additional updates at this time but will share further details with you when they are finalized," said Brigid Boyd of United Way, which will oversee the shelter.

The space inside 24 Farnsworth is primarily office space, with open offices on the top two floors that will likely be converted to migrant housing. They're currently glass offices with some couches and chairs. A primary concern is the lack of bathrooms and showers.
