“that little rule changed my life.” Pausing evictions while people get help paying rent has a hugely positive impact on people's lives. Extending Chapter 257 will help people avoid homelessness & gain the stability we all need to thrive. bostonglobe.com/2023/03/28/b… via @BostonGlobe

This funding is vital to provide safe places for people to stay. Ultimately, we need to create more deeply affordable homes & increase funding for programs like MRVP & AHVP to bring rents down to levels people with low incomes can afford. bostonglobe.com/2023/01/30/m… via @BostonGlobe

Keith Fairey making the case for #MRVP. MRVP makes it possible to develop homes that are affordable for households with low incomes. In Western MA, there is a shortage of 17,000 homes with rents low enough for people with low incomes to afford. @WayFindersMA
