It's a big day in Augusta, as the Maine State Legislature's Committee on Health and Human Services is holding a public hearing for several bills related to General Assistance. Some are good, some are bad, but MIRC staff will be there for all of them!

Happy 6th anniversary to Huston Commons, 1 of 3 Preble Street Site-Based #HousingFirst programs!
