State Overwhelmed by Migrants Asks Residents to Open their Homes

Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll asked state residents Wednesday to open their doors and assist housing migrants after the Democratic governor, Maura Healey, declared a state of emergency Tuesday as the state is faced with a vast shortage of shelters.

“Most importantly, if you have an extra room or suite in your home, please consider hosting a family. Housing and shelter is our most pressing need and become a sponsor family,” Driscoll said.

Driscoll’s comments echoed Healey’s statement Tuesday in calling on residents to “offer a helping hand.” (Excerpt from Fox News.)
