Gov. Maura Healey filed a $425 million spending bill Tuesday that attempts to drain nearly all of an account filled with pandemic-era surplus dollars to pay for emergency shelter costs through the rest of fiscal year 2025.

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey requested more funds towards state shelters and ordered an inspection of all state shelters on Monday, after three assault rifles and a large amount of fentanyl were found in a Revere state shelter.

Maura Healey on Monday announced a review of shelter policy amid a barrage of questions over how a Dominican national – who the feds say entered the country illegally – came to be at a Revere family shelter with 10 pounds of lethal drugs and a large-capacity rifle.

I’ve ordered an inspection of all shelter units, beginning with the Revere site, and a full review of our intake processes."

Healey’s order followed the arrest late last month of an undocumented immigrant from the Dominican Republic. Revere police said they seized an assault rifle and roughly 10 pounds of fentanyl.

Governor Maura Healey announced two big developments to keep state-run shelters safer and funded for a little longer. The governor wants all of the sites reviewed and inspected to prevent criminal activity.
