Massachusetts officials are setting up a temporary shelter and other supports at Joint Base Cape Cod for the nearly 50 migrants who wereThe Baker administration said in a statement Friday morning that it would offer transportation to any of the migrants, nearly all native Venezuelans, who voluntarily decide to come stay at the base.
The base, which the state has previously designated an emergency shelter, will offer dormitory-style spaces, with separate spots to accommodate families or individuals. The administration said families will not be separated. The base will also feature space for migrants to find other resources like legal services, health care, crisis counseling and translators.
“We are grateful to the providers, volunteers and local officials that stepped up on Martha’s Vineyard over the past few days to provide immediate services to these individuals,” Gov. Charlie Baker said in the statement. “Our Administration has been working across state government to develop a plan to ensure these individuals will have access to the services they need going forward, and Joint Base Cape Cod is well equipped to serve these needs.
