Thousands of migrant families continue to arrive in different cities and towns in Massachusetts, now calling the Commonwealth their home.
Tuesday Gov. Maura Healey said they’ve secured $2 million from FEMA to help aid the new arrivals, but she says Massachusetts needs more federal help, like expediting work authorizations. Woburn Mayor Scott Galvin said they are preparing for an additional 100 migrants to arrive in the city in the next few days, many from Haiti. He's concerned about the strain on the city, but said state law requires them to find housing for these migrants.“We try to be open during the day so people can drop donations off, we have a big hall here. Folks are bringing in clothing, toiletries and baby items," Pastor Bill Hoch said.
