MACoalition/Homeless

We’re excited to join advocates and legislative partners like @SenJehlen from across the state to push for investment in critical housing programs to address #homelessness and #housing affordability at @MAHomeless lobby day. #mapoli

As is tradition, I hosted the annual @MAHomeless lobby day. Alongside tireless advocates, service providers, and community leaders, I spoke about the importance of programs that serve homeless residents and the need for a “Homeless ID” bill.

Breaktime was proud to stand alongside @MAHomeless at the State House yesterday for a powerful day of advocacy. Two Breaktime Associates advocated for policies that could help ensure dignity, access, and opportunity for people experiencing homelessness.

A big thank you to all of our coalition partners who spoke at the #LiftOurKids rally in support of raising cash assistance grants for families living in Deep Poverty. We could not do this without your continued support. #EndDeepPovertyNow (Part 1)

Attention, families getting TAFDC! The Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) pays a $500 clothing allowance for each child in the family who gets TAFDC. This year’s payment will go out on Aug 29th. Learn more: masslegalhelp.org/public-benefit…

#aboutMBT In 2014, a Medical Outreach program with paid staff was launched, thanks to a grant from Mass General to the Lynn Health Task Force. A new clinic space off our dining room, an NP from @LynnCHC, and a case manager from @MAHomeless brought vital care right to the Table.

🗣️ “If I can’t get a job without an ID, how do I get the money to get an ID? That is the cycle of homelessness that is so difficult to break out of.” Grateful to @MAHomeless for elevating our Associates' voices for systems change. 🔗 About the MA ID Bill: breaktime.org/post/legislati…
