State: Auditor pinpoints costs of homeless in motels

WEYMOUTH --- The use of motels by the state as temporary shelters has resulted in 10 communities hosting 68 percent of homeless families receiving assistance, according to a report by the state auditor's office. The report also said the cost of transporting displaced children to the school system they came from (required by federal law) costs communities $13 million per year and may amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars in the 10 communities that host the most homeless families on motels - Weymouth, Brockton, Holyoke, Danvers, Allston-Brighton, Chicopee, Waltham, Malden, Leominster and Greenfield.
