Protesters in Worcester rallied against Governor Maura Healey's new emergency shelter restrictions, which limit overflow shelter stays to five days. The new regulations, announced last week, also prioritize long-term Massachusetts residents over newly arrived migrants. Gov. Healey has stood by these new rules, stating that families will be given priority as the state continues to deal with a severely overburdened shelter system, a surge in migration, and an ongoing housing affordability crisis.
