Months after promised improvements, little progress on filling public housing vacancies

A WBUR and ProPublica investigation in September found nearly 2,300 state-funded apartments were sitting vacant around the commonwealth, with most empty for months or years. As a result, the state promised a "90-day push" to fill the open units amid a housing crisis in the state. But as of the beginning of March, 2,219 units remain empty.
