The company negotiating for the hotels said the nightly rates for the state are cheaper than the average yearly cost per night. DHCD told the NBC10 Boston Investigators it’s looking for cost-effective ways to provide housing and that some of the higher rates may be for larger rooms or rooms that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The state is directly negotiating some of the hotel contracts, with DHCD Director Alvina Brevard and Undersecretary Jennifer Maddox signing off, but many are being handled by the organizations managing the shelters. Methuen Mayor Neil Perry said the housing crisis is more of an epidemic now than it has ever been. It’s visible at Methuen’s Days Hotel which houses more than one hundred homeless families.
Driscoll said solving the crisis isn’t easy and the solutions have to be more than funding for a temporary shelter.
