Background
Massachusetts has experienced a rapid increase in migrants to the Commonwealth since fall 2022. Many of these new arrivals are seeking support from the Emergency Assistance Shelter program in the Commonwealth. State agencies, municipalities, service providers, and residents are filling critical roles providing resources, shelter, and supporting vulnerable families throughout the state.
For Municipalities
Municipal staff interested in connecting with other municipalities supporting migrants and immigrant communities, including those that are not yet hosting any families, are invited to join MAPC’s Municipal Immigration Support Network (MISN) meetings hosted biweekly. If you are interested in joining this group, please contact Georgia Barlow at [email protected] to learn more.
