Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey is introducing a two-track shelter system aimed at managing the state’s overburdened emergency shelter system as it faces rising costs.
The first track allows 30-day shelter stays for families, while the second track offers a longer six-month stay, addressing the need for stable housing.
Healey remarked that more needs to be done to alleviate the financial burden on taxpayers, stating that these changes are vital in addressing shelter shortages.
The projected cost for the shelter system in fiscal year 2025 is nearly $1.1 billion, prompting urgent reforms to reduce expenditures and better serve families.
