The report outlines the current status and activities related to Temporary Respite Centers (TRCs) and Clinical and Safety Risk Assessment Sites (CSRAs) as mandated by Chapter 88 of the Acts of 2024. As of February 20, 2025, there are three state-funded TRCs located in Chelsea, Lexington, and Norfolk, along with one CSRA in Revere. The report includes key datapoints such as the number of families currently in these centers, the average length of stay, and the services provided to families, which include shelter, case management, and various support services. Notably, the average length of stay for individuals at TRCs is reported to be 55 days.

Additionally, the report highlights ongoing procurement efforts by the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) to secure qualified vendors for operating overflow emergency overnight shelter sites and CSRAs. The bid solicitations for these services were issued in early 2024, with contract negotiations expected to conclude by the end of June. The report emphasizes the importance of connecting families with additional services and developing rehousing plans to expedite their transition to stable housing.
