More than 400 families are on the waitlist to access the state’s overburdened emergency shelter system, a top Healey administration official said Thursday, less than a week after the state abruptly opened a new overflow site in Cambridge.During a 90-minute virtual community meeting, city and state leaders candidly explained how they selected the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds building and began welcoming families, including migrants, last Friday with little public notice or engagement.
