HD 216 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act to create and implement a Massachusetts flexible supportive housing subsidy pool program

This bill establishes a new Massachusetts Flexible Housing Pool Program designed to help homeless individuals with complex medical, mental health, or substance use needs secure permanent supportive housing. The program creates a centralized funding pool that combines federal emergency assistance with state resources to provide flexible financial support for housing and related services. Eligible applicants, including cities and local care organizations, can access these funds to move people out of shelters and into stable living arrangements. By creating a coordinated system for distributing money, the legislation aims to improve the efficiency of ending chronic homelessness across the state.
