Financial & Emergency Assistance
To help people get back on their feet and stabilize financially, we offer rental assistance and micro loans in times of crisis, along with emergency motel stays when other options are not available. We were one of the first nonprofits in MA to provide Covid-19 rental assistance. Our grants and microloans are for those whose income has been negatively affected by the pandemic to be used to pay rent, mortgages and/or to access homes that are affordable, for households at 100% of Area Median Income or below.
For information regarding transitional housing, rental/emergency and financial assistance loans, as well as information on our other programs contact Kate Coulehan:
