Massachusetts House prepares to vote on a $425M bill to tighten rules for emergency shelters.

Massachusetts House is set to vote on a $425 million bill that would impose stricter rules on the state's emergency shelter system. The bill would shorten the maximum stay in shelters from nine to six months, cap the number of served families at 4,000, and require proof of Massachusetts residency and background checks for applicants. It also eliminates automatic eligibility for shelter placement.
