Good Morning Boston, Tzom kal to everyone observing Yom Kippur today. NPR has [a list of expert-recommended dishes]( (and tips) for breaking your fast. But first, the news: - State officials say the shelter at Joint Base Cape Cod — where many of the migrants who were flown to Martha's Vineyard last month have been staying — will [close this weekend]( as case managers work to find the group more sustainable housing. According to Gov. Charlie Baker's administration, 14 of the 49 migrants who moved to the temporary shelter have already left the base for "for opportunities in and outside Massachusetts." The other 35 are expected to leave this week as they finalize housing plans. - Immigration attorney Susan Church [told Radio Boston on Tuesday]( that the largely Venezuelan group has asylum claims ranging from "great" to "average." But they're also seeking [a different type of visa]( for individuals who were victims of a crime. - What's next? Local elected officials and lawyers for the migrants have been calling for a federal investigation into [the woman who lured the group onto the plane]( and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for interfering with federal immigration enforcement.

Sharpless also went to Harvard and taught at MIT. - With home energy bills [expected to rise sharply this fall and winter]( the entire Massachusetts congressional delegation is calling on federal officials to expedite the release of recently approved, low-income heating assistance funds. Lawmakers say the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funds have been released in early November in recent years, but that past data show it is possible for them to go out as soon as mid-October. - Last week, President Joe Biden [signed a spending package that included a $1 billion increase]( in LIHEAP funds — about $37 million of which will go to Massachusetts. However, with electric and gas bills slated to rise to record heights, some advocates say it's own a fraction of what's needed. Sharon Scott-Chandler, the president of Action for Boston Community Development, told WBUR the state would need around $300 million to cover the increased needs and additional families seeking support. - From potholes to illegal parking, Boston residents have a new and improved way to report issues in their neighborhood.
