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)

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.

Anti-camping laws and encampment clearings "cause chaos, not order. They are not a solution to homelessness, and in fact, they will make the problem worse,” said @annymoliva. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

"Previous research shows encampment sweeps do not help those who are homeless, and according to this study’s results, are also not making the rest of us any safer,” says @jabarocas: news.cuanschutz.edu/news-sto…
