Winter weather in Massachusetts sparks concerns for unaccompanied homeless adults

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:06:39 GMT

Advocates and shelter providers say bubbling just beyond the surface of the family shelter crisis this winter are concerns that unaccompanied homeless adults are not receiving enough resources as temperatures drop below freezing.Cold weather arrives as one provider told the Herald that they have seen more unaccompanied, unhoused adults seeking shelter compared to last year.

The Bruins as a whole are not a fully developed team so it stands to reason that their fourth line is the same, from how it needs to play to exactly which players are going to be on it.But creating a fourth line that can be reliable in important situations is very much on coach Jim Montgomery’s to-do list.“It is a concern, but it’s a work in progress and we knew all along this year that that was going to be a work in progress. It continues. We believe in the players that we have and we’re going to work with them and develop them until they have the game-in, game-out identity that we need,” said Montgomery.It can take a while for a fourth line to come together. The most identifiable fourth unit the B’s have had in recent memory was the fan favorite Merlot line of Shawn Thornton, Gregory Campbell and Daniel Paille, and that line didn’t become a regular cohesive unit until later in the 2010-11 Stanley Cup season. Montgomery ticked off a list of things for ...
