Massachusetts state officials, led by Governor Healey, announced a new policy for homeless and migrant families staying in state-run overflow shelters, requiring them to reapply monthly and demonstrate efforts in seeking work authorization or new housing. Additionally, a one-month limit on stays will be implemented. The state also plans to open a new shelter location at the Chelsea Soldiers’ Home site to accommodate the influx. This move comes amid reports that Massachusetts is losing $75 million monthly due to the migrant crisis.
