The number of homeless people in Massachusetts (most of whom are sheltered, as required by state law) leapt 14% last year. Headlines on the West Coast, meanwhile, scream of a housing "crisis" in California, with homelessness up 16% in Los Angeles last year and up 17% over the last two years in San Francisco.

Some can avoid homelessness by using RAFT, a statewide program that offers eligible applicants up to $4,000 to pay back rent and stabilize their housing or pay the upfront costs of moving. If that doesn’t work, they can apply for emergency shelter, as Renderos did.

while about 30 percent of state residents are people of color, they make up nearly 50 percent of the total homeless population, according to the latest federal numbers.

Massachusetts has such high sheltered rates in part because it is the only state in the country with a right to shelter, which means if families can prove they are homeless for an eligible reason, such as a no-fault eviction or a natural disaster, the state is required to provide shelter to them.
