Massachusetts is teaming with federal officials to help migrants apply for work authorization permits. Healey has urged the Biden administration to streamline access to the permits, saying they’re key to helping migrants find a job and leave the state’s overburdened shelter system. Advocates are pursuing a class action lawsuit seeking to block Gov.
FILE - Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey delivers her inaugural address in the House Chamber at the Statehouse moments after being sworn into office during inauguration ceremonies, Jan. 5, 2023, in Boston. Massachusetts is teaming with federal officials to help migrants in the state apply for work authorization permits.
“This clinic will be critical for building on the work that our administration has already been leading to connect more migrants with work opportunities, which will help them support their families and move out of emergency shelter into more stable housing options,” Healey said in a statement.
Healey said the state isn’t abandoning the law, but after Nov. 1, families seeking shelter will be assessed and those with the highest needs will be prioritized. Families that can’t immediately be placed in shelter will be put on a waiting list. “It is illegal and unconscionable for the state to rush these changes into place and force homeless families into the streets just as the winter months are approaching,” Oren Sellstrom of Lawyers for Civil Rights, said in a statement last week.
