"We're going to get to the bottom of why that wasn't happening," Gov. Maura Healey vowed, emphasizing her commitment to investigate the failure in background checks at emergency shelters.
Healey stressed that her administration's response to incidents at shelters has been insufficient, noting her order for CORI checks was ignored at multiple sites.
Despite previous assurances, the state did not conduct comprehensive background checks on emergency shelter residents; Healey has now ordered a full inspection of all sites.
In light of serious incidents involving shelter residents, Healey affirmed the need for accountability and thorough vetting processes to better ensure public safety.
