MassGOP Statement on Gov. Maura Healey Ending State of Emergency for Shelter System

August 1, 2025

BOSTON, MA - Massachusetts Republican Party Chair Amy Carnevale reacted to an announcement by Governor Maura Healey that she is ending a state of emergency declaration for the Commonwealth’s shelter system, which was overwhelmed in 2023 and 2024 by a historic influx of migrants under the Biden administration.

“The end of Massachusetts’ emergency shelter crisis is the result of strong border policies, enacted by the Trump administration, which stemmed the tide of unchecked immigration that took place in the Biden administration. A crisis continues, however, in the Commonwealth’s HomeBASE program, where illegal immigrants ineligible of legal employment are receiving taxpayer subsidies to pay their rent. Governor Healey should work with federal authorities to return these individuals to their home countries, opening up apartments for citizens in Massachusetts’ strained housing market,” said Carnevale.
