The state has targeted $150M in federal pandemic relief funds to permanent supportive housing. A coalition of advocates and social service providers says the funding could go a long way in the fight against homelessness — if there's a vision and plan.
Permanent supportive housing operated by Pine Street Inn at 123 Hamilton Street in Dorchester.
Staples says the coalition asked for the ARPA funding for supportive housing and wants to make sure there's a vision for it, so it has the greatest possible impact. According to Staples, the state likely needs about 1,800 more supportive apartments for adults who are chronically homeless, but the data aren't finalized. Estimates for other populations, including families and youth, aren't clear.

The scanners are already used in some places like sports stadiums but need to be accompanied by human operators. Still, the idea has gotten a closer look after a mass shooting on the subway in April.
