"Emergency Family Shelter Opens in Cambridge to Address Mass. Migrant Crisis"

Massachusetts plans to open an overnight shelter in Cambridge to address the ongoing migrant crisis. The state-owned building, currently housing a Middlesex County Registry of Deeds office, will accommodate up to 70 families during the evening and overnight hours. Equipped with cots and limited amenities, the shelter aims to provide a warm and safe place for families until emergency shelter units become available. The move comes after the state implemented a cap on the number of people the shelter system could house, leaving many families without housing options. The state has also allocated funds to the United Way for additional overnight shelters.
