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

“The administration expects the shelter system will cost $932 million in fiscal 2024 (compared to $325 million budgeted) followed by $915 million in fiscal 2025. Healey’s team has proposed draining a roughly $700 million savings account to cover those costs.”¹
