Homeless families in Massachusetts face waitlist for shelter beds

Massachusetts is nearing its shelter capacity for homeless families and will begin placing them on a waitlist, prioritizing those with the highest needs. The surge in demand is partly due to an influx of migrant families. Critics argue that this decision violates the state's "right-to-shelter" law. The state is considering limiting the length of stay in shelters and exploring alternative options, such as winterized camps. Advocates are concerned about the safety of families forced into unsafe living conditions, while lawmakers are considering setting aside funds for temporary refuge locations.
