Boston Mayor Michelle Wu Wu and her team deserve credit for first pouring so much effort into outreach at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard. But Beacon Hill and business owners need to step up to help build longer-term solutions.
Officials in Boston are beginning to clear a sprawling homeless camp, citing a crisis of opioid addiction there.
The city of Boston and the Baker administration will partner on a centralized command structure to respond to the worsening addiction and homelessness crisis anchored in the area known as “Mass. and Cass.”
To address the public health crisis at Mass & Cass, the Boston Planning and Development Agency is set to commit $160,000 toward new services including cleanups and social service outreach.
