Homes For Families

Homes for Families Announcement: It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that the Board of Directors has made the difficult decision to close Homes for Families. Our offices closed on June 30th, 2023. Read our full statement here: homesforfamilies.org/closing-statem…

EMPath participant advocates know firsthand that the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (#MRVP) is key to housing affordability. Advocates were at the State House today asking legislators to expand this critical program so that more ppl can access affordable housing! #mapoli

🚨Action Alert🚨 It's state budget season in MA, which means legislators need to hear from YOU. Urge reps to ensure fams have what they need to achieve #EconomicMobility: #BasicNeeds assistance, stable #housing, tax credits & workforce training. #mapoli ⏩actionempathways.salsalabs.org/fy24budgetadvo…

With over $3 billion in surplus revenue this year, there is more than enough money to increase cash assistance grants for low income families. With so much cash, it’s time for the legislature to act NOW!

Lowest income families spend more on the basics and are hardest hit by inflation. @LiftOurKidsMA urges the Legislature to raise cash assistance grants! #LiftOurKids #mapoli washingtonpost.com/business/2022/…

MA recognizes the right to abortion under our state constitution and abortion will remain legal. HFF knows that the ability to parent in safe and sustainable communities is a core tenant of reproductive justice – housing and reproductive justice are inextricably linked.

🚨 Hi everyone, we are just now hearing that the rent control listening session seems to be rescheduled for May 24 at 6PM. If you registered, you should have received this email as well. That is all we know as of now. 🚨 #bospoli

We at HFF, on behalf of the dozens of shelter providers and the thousands of Families impacted by homelessness and housing insecurity with whom we work, implore the Housing Committee to issue favorable reports on these bills and make our state a nation-wide leader in housing!

Shout out to @jaylivingstone, @RobConsalvo and @senjehlen for sponsoring An act to guarantee a tenant's first right to refusal, which will give the tenants the option to match a third party offer when their homes are being sold.

ACTION ALERT! Tomorrow is the deadline for The Housing Committee to release its reports on our legislative priorities. Joint Rule 10 requires committees to report out all bills by the first Wednesday of February, which means it’s time to call/email/tweet at your Rep and Senator!
