"Shelter Crisis: Migrant Families Stranded at Boston's Logan Airport as Emergency Shelters Overwhelmed"

Migrant families are sleeping at Boston's Logan International Airport as the state's shelter system has reached capacity and lawmakers have failed to approve $250 million in emergency funding. Families from various countries, including Haiti, Chile, and Mexico, have arrived at the airport seeking shelter. Massachusetts officials have capped shelter placements at 7,500 and those in need will now be placed on a waitlist prioritized based on safety and clinical risk. Lawmakers have ended formal sessions without an agreement on funding, leaving the state's response to the shelter crisis uncertain.
