BOSTON (WHDH) - A new shelter is set to open in the Seaport District later this week as part of an effort to find a place to put the growing number of migrant families that are flooding into Massachusetts.
The United Way of Mass Bay got a $5 million grant to put these migrant shelters in different parts of the state and the latest plan is to put one in a 10,000-square-foot office building on Farnsworth Street, right in the heart of the Fort Point section of the booming Seaport District.
It’s unclear when the shelter is going to formally open for families.
