East L.A. Family Camps by Beach Amid Rotting-Food Odor from Lineage Fire

After a massive Lineage warehouse fire in Boyle Heights, a mother of four says she and her family are camping near Dockweiler Beach to escape the smell of rotting, thawed food; LA County reports hundreds offered temporary housing while 211 and Airbnb aid efforts continue, though her East L.A. home sits just outside current voucher eligibility. Lineage says it has removed more than 85 million pounds of rotting waste and is conducting door-to-door outreach with air purifiers, masks, water, and grocery vouchers for about 800 nearby homes, and officials are reviewing expanding aid as a rebuild is pursued.

"Proposed $30,000 Housing Assistance Boost for Migrant Families in Boston's Fort Point"

Massachusetts' HomeBASE program, which traditionally assists homeless families, is now being extended to include migrants in emergency shelters, offering up to $30,000 over two years to help find stable housing. The program covers expenses such as rent, security deposits, moving costs, and utilities, and also supports overdue rent or utility payments. Eligibility requires living in or being eligible for the state-run emergency shelter system, with additional consideration for families in non-emergency domestic violence shelters and residential use treatment programs. Governor Maura Healey has implemented a waitlist for temporary housing, with overflow shelter sites available for those on the list.
