Excerpt:
State Sen. Mike Barrett hailed the playspace, acknowledging that the state “has not done that well” finding permanent housing for the now-homeless. “Massachusetts needs a pro-immigration policy.”
Rep. Simon Cataldo noted the “difficult work” of helping resettle the families at the hotel and praised MOC for its open and honest approach.
“I’m very proud of Concord,” said Cataldo. “The community showed it is going to step up.”
Cataldo said reimbursement for transportation costs for school children is currently in the state budget, but the process is not final.
