As this economic crisis continues, Massachusetts is expected to face a $3 billion dollar structural deficit in FY 2011. It is especially important during these tough economic times that we speak up about maintaining support for programs which protect our state's most vulnerable residents.
We hope you can join us on February 25th to learn more about the Coalition's priorities, hear about several new initiatives addressing the needs of homeless youth within the Commonwealth, and share your insights with your legislators about the short and long term impacts of housing instability on our state's extremely low-income individuals and families.
