The governor of Massachusetts, Maura Healey, announced the closure of all the remaining hotel shelters in the state of the bay in the official end of his executive emergency focused on the influx of migrants from the state era.
Meanwhile, Mike Kenenaly – his republican rival in the 2026 governor’s swallows who were also secretary to state housing under the governor of GOP Charlie Baker – said to the Democrat: “I told you.”
Healey described her period of emergency as a success, saying that when she succeeded Baker, “families were placed in hotels of the whole state, and that families remain in a shelter for months – sometimes years – at the same time.”
“There was no plan in place to reform the shelter system to manage the sharp increase in demand, protect the dollars from taxpayers or help families leave shelter. We can all agree that a hotel is not a place to raise a family. We have therefore taken measures,” said Healey, while the State used hotels, community centers and even a missing prison to shelter the influx.

In 1983, then-gov. Michael Dukakis has signed what remains the only right of law to the state of the country, which sparked the conditions for such a migrant housing crisis.
Healey and the majority of democratic legislative assembly in Boston revised the Dukakis law to a limit of six months on this right and require proof of residence as well as immigration documents appropriate to a few exceptions.
Kenenaly said he had warned Healey of “potential and a crisis of extinguished migrants – I warned him in writing”.
“She didn’t listen,” He posted TuesdayAccusing Healey of “doing politics” with the migrant crisis of the Biden era and “selling a false hope” to migrants and taxpayers.

“Hotels can be closed for the moment, but the crisis lasts through the Homebase program and length spending,” said Kenenaly, adding that if he was elected, he “will have and repair it”.
Kenenaly’s comments have occurred for weeks after a report has shown that Bay staters will spend up to $ 1 billion cumulatively in the state emergency shelter program during the 20125 financial year, migrant families constituting a significant part of those who receive assistance.
The costs operate at around $ 3,496 per week per family, or about $ 1,000 per person per week for the program, known as the emergency assistance system, according to the state executive office for housing and habitable communities.
A spokesperson for Healey told Boston Herald On Monday, the governor “inherited a catastrophe of a shelter system” of Kennealy, which, she said, offered rare substantial advice.
“Governor Healey is the one who has taken measures to implement a duration limit, mandate the verifications of the criminal history, oblige residents to prove the residence of Massachusetts and legitimate immigration status, and get families out of hotels,” Karissa Hand told the newspaper.
A Chenil spokesperson told the newspaper that this candidate had warned Healey and Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll of the imminent crisis in person.
