Massachusetts issues tighter restrictions on access to homeless shelter system
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey unveiled new restrictions Tuesday on the state’s homeless family shelter programs. Beginning Aug. 1, families that are not prioritized for placement in emergency assistance shelters will be eligible to stay at overflow sites for just five days. Healey said she was tightening restrictions on emergency assistance system eligibility because of the system’s “continuing capacity constraints” and the need to protect its financial sustainability — in part due to the influx of migrants to the state. Families will be prioritized for placement in emergency assistance shelters if they have been made homeless by a no-fault eviction or by sudden or unusual circumstances beyond their control, such as a flood or fire. They will also be prioritized if at least one family member is a veteran, Healey said.
