Shelters lack space for homeless as winter arrives
Estimates of the size of the state’s homeless population hovers around the 18,000 mark, according to estimates from a 2019 report by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Though in previous years Boston has been able to accommodate almost its entire homeless population, organizations are struggling to allow guests to distance and still provide adequate shelter.
Tiny houses and Safe Outdoor Spaces (sanctioned tent villages) are how you stop the hemorrhaging today.
