CAUSE
Brooklyn Migration addresses the lack of immigrant resources by offering education support including financial aid, SAT prep, and English tutoring. It also assists with documentation, employment, and provides facilities for resume building and applications. Unlike a standard library, it caters specifically to immigrants and minorities with dedicated staff. Additionally, it features a multicultural food hall on the first floor, offering rental opportunities for stationary kiosks, fostering employment, profit, tourism, and social gatherings.
