Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:29:37 GMT

Massachusetts could begin turning away unhoused families next week, and the state’s top elected officials did not seem to have an understanding Monday about what will happen once the state shelter system reaches capacity.Gov. Maura Healey, Senate President Karen Spilka and House Speaker Ron Mariano were in agreement after a private sit-down that the state’s shelter system is being pushed to its limit by a steady influx of immigrant families arriving from other countries and that something needs to be done.

We had some discussions about it. The concern is that the space is at a premium, there just seems to be no more space and I believe that options are being looked at right now. So we’ll be continuing discussing this and working with th...
