Shelter Emergency
Hundreds of immigrant families are now sleeping at Logan Airport, and in hospital waiting rooms and MBTA stations because the state's shelter system is full. These families are here legally but are waiting for work authorization from the federal government.
ArCS Cluster is working with the state's Family Welcome Center to provide vital support. Do you have an empty room? Offering it to a family for just a few days can give them a chance to warm up, rest and take steps toward getting work authorization and long-term shelter.
