THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 Page 9 Migrant families now being housed in east side Malden motel Six families, mostly from Haiti, are at EconoLodge on Broadway; National Guard on site to assist By Steve Freker MALDEN - Migrant families have been coming to Malden and many other communities around the nation in greater numbers for much of the past two years. On Wednesday, Malden Mayor Gary Christenson formally announced that the City of Malden has opened its doors to several migrant families with children, most of them coming directly from Haiti. At present, there are six migrant families being housed at EconoLodge at 321 Broadway in Malden. There are 10 rooms now apportioned to accommodate the migrant families, and there are six children who now enrolled, or in the process of being enrolled, in the Malden Public Schools. Additionally, the Mayor announced there are National Guard personnel on site at the EconoLodge in Malden from noon to 6:00 p.m. each day to assist in the migrant families’ living conditions. In his statement, Mayor Christenson confi rmed, “The National Guard will have offi cers on hand who speak Haitian Creole and who will assist with coordinating food vendors, helping with medical and immigration appointments, and ensuring access to service providers, among other things.” In housing these families, Malden joins some 80 other communities across Massachusetts in providing these living quarters, including Everett, Revere, Chelsea and Boston. Some of these provisions are related to the Massachusetts “Right to Shelter” law.
