Massachusetts is scrambling to address its migrant and homeless family shelter squeeze, with state lawmakers discussing potential overflow sites, including convention centers such as the Hynes in downtown Boston. House Speaker Ronald Mariano confirmed to reporters at the State House that various locations are being considered. “All of those we suggested,” Mariano said, hinting at the urgency to expand capacity. This comes as emergency shelters near Governor Maura Healey’s self-imposed limit of housing 7,500 families. “We talked about a lot of different options. There are plenty in the state and it’s up to (the Healey administration) as to how many we need,” Mariano added, as reported by the Boston Herald.
