Time Ticking For Displaced Puerto Ricans Living In Dedham

DEDHAM, MA — Time is ticking for about 40 families from Puerto Rico who are currently living in Dedham.

The families have been living in a local hotel since November, but with their FEMA assistance ending on March 20, many could be homeless by then.

Kathy Morales told WBZ that she has a new job at the Blue Ribbon BBQ in Dedham Square and her kids are in the Dedham School. She said that she wants to make her kids feel safe but she's worried what will happen come the end of March.

The restaurant is helping Morales and other displaced Puerto Ricans working at the restaurant find cars and housing. Morales has also started a GoFundMe page.
