An Act to eliminate asset limits for homeless shelters

This bill proposes to remove asset limits for individuals seeking assistance at homeless shelters in Massachusetts. Currently, the law allows shelters to deny help based on a person's personal property, but this legislation would change that rule to ensure access regardless of assets. The only exception is that any income generated from those assets, such as interest or dividends, would still be counted as income. This change directly affects homeless shelters and the people they serve by broadening eligibility criteria.
