The Emergency Assistance Placement Data Dashboard provides daily updates on shelter placements in Massachusetts cities and towns.

Keep track and stay informed about the number of families currently enrolled in the Commonwealth Shelter System. Note: The data does not distinguish between Massachusetts citizens and migrants (undocumented or otherwise). Also, the numbers are presented as ranges rather than exact numbers.

Hint: While viewing the website, hover over the map with your mouse to view information for each municipality. If you right-click in the map area, an option to show the data as a table will appear. Click the button to see a list of each municipality. See how-to below.
