Bill overview
This bill, H.1488, aims to prevent homelessness among families, youth, and adults in Massachusetts by authorizing the Department of Housing and Community Development to create and administer a residential assistance program. Specifically, it establishes a program designed to provide financial assistance to help people at risk of losing their housing stay in their homes. The program, tentatively named Residential Assistance for Families in Transition (RAFT), will focus on providing support to those facing housing instability. This legislation builds upon previous efforts to address homelessness prevention.
