Massachusetts recreational center to return to public use after serving as temporary migrant shelter

A recreational center serving as a temporary migrant shelter in Roxbury, Massachusetts, is slated to transition back to public use next month in time for summer, according to the governor's office.

The Malnea A. Cass Recreational Complex, a state-owned facility with sports courts and a pool for community members, has been closed to the public for several months while it has been used as an overflow location to house homeless families, including migrants. The facility had Army cots set up to house more than 300 migrants.
