FRAMINGHAM - Outside the Red Roof Inn in Framingham there's a community that's trying to make a shelter a home, temporary as it may be. It includes Denis from Haiti who told WBZ-TV through a translator he came here looking for a new life. "Because of opportunity they have here in Massachusetts. They can help them. They can have work to do," he said. It's at hotels like this, three of which are in Framingham, and at emergency shelters where more than 6,000 families, many of them migrants, are staying in 80 communities across the Commonwealth.
