Families no longer allowed to sleep overnight at Logan starting July 9 – Boston News, Weather, Sports [Video]

BOSTON (WHDH) – Starting July 9, sleeping overnight in Logan Airport will no longer be permitted, the Healey administration announced Friday.

“The administration has worked diligently in recent months to increase the number of families leaving shelter into more stable housing,” said Emergency Assistance Director Scott Rice. “With this progress, the recent opening of a new safety-net site in Norfolk and the new nine-month length of stay policy, we are now in a position to end the practice of families staying overnight in the airport. This is in the best interest of families and travelers and staff at Logan, as the airport is not an appropriate place for people to seek shelter.”
