Needs at Boston’s Pine Street Inn are rising dramatically as the state is flooded with migrants and housing prices skyrocket, according to organizers.

While the state’s shelter system is at or near its 7,500 family limit and Massachusetts housing prices on the rise with very little spare stock, the homeless shelter on Harrison Avenue in Boston is seeing an increase in requests for their meal and overnight services, according to Director of Communications Ross Condit.

“We are seeing an increase of need this year over last,” Condit said. “It’s the migrants, but it’s also senior citizens, many of whom have been living in their homes for decades and then suddenly a new landlord jacks up the rent and they can’t afford it any longer.”

The shelter currently provides permanent housing more than 900 individuals, according to President and Executive Director Lyndia Downie, but will soon expand to more than 1,000.

Those people, she said, are the lucky ones. They have left the shelter system and have keys in their hands. Not everyone is so fortunate, she said.

“We’re up almost 30%,” she said. “We think we’re seeing something going on. It’s not all migrants accounting for all of this – maybe that’s 25% of the new people we’re seeing.”

Many people, Downie said, just can’t find a place to stay.

“We’re hearing a lot more about how tight the rental market is,” she said.

The largest of its kind in New England, the shelter is funded in part by the state, according to Condit, but manages to feed 2,000 people daily, give a bed to more than 400 each night, provide job training, outreach to those still living on the street, and manage 38 separate permanent housing locations mostly on the back of their donors.

“Our goal is to get people off the street and into permanent housing,” he said. “We can use all the help we can get.”
