"Boston's Cass Rec Center Designated as Overflow Shelter for Logan Airport Migrants"

The Melnea Cass Recreational Complex in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood will serve as an overflow shelter for migrant families, particularly those sleeping at Logan International Airport, starting Wednesday. The complex, which has been used for various purposes in the past, will accommodate families in need of shelter until May 31, after which it will resume its role as a recreation center. Gov. Maura Healey expressed emotional commitment to providing housing for migrants while maintaining community services, as the state grapples with a housing crisis that is expected to cost taxpayers $1 billion this year.
