If you’re a citizen of Massachusetts, it’s your responsibility to help with the immigrant housing crisis. At least, that’s what the state’s government is telling its residents

Bay State Gov. Maura Healey declared a state of emergency in Massachusetts’ migrant housing crisis on Tuesday, saying that roughly 100 families per day had been requesting assistance as of July. On top of that, the state is currently housing 20,000 people (including 5,600 families) in emergency shelters, which is an 80 percent increase from last year.

These numbers are so high because Massachusetts is the only state in the country that has laws guaranteeing emergency housing to homeless families. So as a solution to the problem the state made with its own laws, Gov. Healey is asking for Bay State citizens to house families until the state gets things under control.
