Massachusetts Governor Healey to Host Work Authorization Clinic for Migrants

Governor Maura Healey of Massachusetts has announced that work authorization clinics will be held next month for migrants living in the state. The Department of Homeland Security will partner with the Healey-Driscoll Administration to expedite work authorization for newly arriving migrants. Massachusetts has experienced an increase in migrant families, leading to nearly full shelter capacity. The clinics aim to help families secure work opportunities and move out of emergency shelters into more stable housing options. The Biden administration has already taken steps to streamline the work authorization process for migrants from certain countries.
