Hotel rooms for the homeless question in MA

[John H.]

In my area we have lots of homeless families living in hotels. The state of MA pays about $82/night per family to live in the hotels. Does anyone know if we can set up a house as a short term rental and have the state pay us big bucks to rent housing per day to the homeless too?

@John H.,

It is sad your motivation is to make “big bucks” from other’s tragedy and from the taxpayers’ hard-earned money.
