Each night, workers at Logan Airport provide cots for travelers with canceled flights. But lately, they’re also providing temporary beds for immigrants seeking refuge in Massachusetts. Since July 11, Logan’s Crisis Response Team has assisted over 1,600 new arrivals.
The number of families arriving at hospitals solely because they needed a roof over their heads was steady for years, but it shot up in 2022 — and in 2023 it ballooned even more.
“If we’re giving everyone Cheetos for lunch, you can imagine what the carpet's going to look like,” Deane said.were newly arrived immigrants.At the same time, Boston Medical Center saw a sharp rise in the number of families coming to its doors. After more than 130 people slept on the lobby floor in a single night, hospital administrators decided to make a change.
Family shelters are not available for individuals. Plus, many newly arrived families still need help finding the centers and getting transportation to them — and they need a place to sleep if they arrive when everything is closed. That burden increasingly falls to Logan.On a typical morning, a state trooper makes his way around the airport's terminals, gently waking people up. He takes pictures of their passports and asks the new arrivals where they came from.
