EMPath participant advocates know firsthand that the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (#MRVP) is key to housing affordability. Advocates were at the State House today asking legislators to expand this critical program so that more ppl can access affordable housing! #mapoli

Lowest income families spend more on the basics and are hardest hit by inflation. @LiftOurKidsMA urges the Legislature to raise cash assistance grants! #LiftOurKids #mapoli washingtonpost.com/business/…

I was honored to receive the Big Cookie Award from @HFFma today. I'm proud of the work we do to strengthen the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program. Housing is a human right, and I look forward to our continued partnership to achieve housing stability for all MA families!

We thank our waterfront initiative organizer, Noemy, for speaking her truth into power! No one should be facing eviction during a pandemic and three evictions is unforgivable.
Let’s do better, MA. #LiftTheBanMA #mapoli @CityLife_Clvu @HFFma
.@GreenRootsEJ member Noemy Rodriguez says she's confronting her 3rd eviction due to inability to pay such high rents. "We're suffering stress, anxiety, causes negative effects in our children...the cost to move is also too high, $1100 payment for a new apartment" #LiftTheBanMA

Keeping our communities safely housed is critical to public health. #LiftTheBanMA will:

Housing justice is environmental justice.
Our Black, brown, and immigrant communities deserve stable and healthy housing now! @CityLife_Clvu
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu will seek a stay to keep a citywide eviction moratorium in place after a housing court judge on Monday struck down the policy in a ruling that called the temporary ban an "overreach of power." wbur.fm/3d6MWop

Thank you, Boston, for the honor of a lifetime. Time to step into our city’s promise together—every neighborhood, every block, every resident.
I am blessed to be your Mayor. Let’s do this!

🚨NOW is the time to protect renters and homeowners by PASSING the COVID19 Housing Equity Bill H1434\S.891!
Thank you to the Somerville delegation for your leadership on #HousingEquityMA @senjehlen @erika4rep @MikeConnollyMA @Barber4StateRep #EquidadDeVivienda #MaPoli – at Boston, MA
While advocates desperately try to help prevent evictions for moral & public health reasons, we're getting reports of building clearouts based on no fault evictions. Companies are profiting off people during the pandemic! We can’t allow that. Pass H1434/S891 #HousingEquityMA

New longitudinal research from @ChildrensHW shows behing behind on rent ⬆️ significantly for families during COVID19. Equitable policies that reduce economic hardships for families most impacted during COVID are urgently needed & must be included in the #BuildBackBetter Act!
