Democratic town furious over migrant shelter opening in neighborhood
Fox News
Residents in a small Massachusetts town are furious that they have not been consulted on plans to convert a former prison into a tax-payer-funded migrant shelter for hundreds of people.
Norfolk has a population of about 11,500 and voted heavily in favor of President Joe Biden in 2020. Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
The governor's office tells Fox News Digital it expects the shelter to be operational next month as a "temporary safety-net site for families experiencing homelessness." Families who will stay at the site will be subject to the 30-day engagement requirements and a monthly recertification process to demonstrate they are taking action toward getting work permits, jobs and housing.
