The New York City Housing AuthorityJohnson Community Center in Harlem is a cooling center, but it was really hot inside on Thursday.
Scan NY, a non profit group that provides support for high risk families in Harlem and the Bronx, rents out the space from NYCHA for children's programs in the summer. Program Director Cynthia Chism says they have 151 children there each day.
“Our children and our seniors are trying to utilize cooling centers and they can’t and it’s not a new problem,” said Myrie.
