"Massachusetts Governor Deploys National Guard to Aid Migrant Shelters in Emergency"

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has activated 250 members of the National Guard to assist in emergency shelter hotels housing migrants, as service providers struggle to meet the increasing demand. The governor also announced the formation of Regional Rapid Response Teams to oversee shelter sites. Currently, over 6,000 migrant families are in emergency shelters across the state. The National Guard members will provide basic services at shelters without contracted service providers, including facilitating access to food, transportation, medical care, education, and assisting with school enrollment.
