A communication from the Executive Office for Housing and Livable Communities (see Section 12 of Chapter 1 of the Acts of 2025) submitting its Emergency Assistance Family Shelter Program Background Check Feasibility Study

This bill (HD 4889) is a procedural communication submitting the Executive Office for Housing and Livable Communities' feasibility study on background checks for the Emergency Assistance Family Shelter Program. It does not create new laws or change existing requirements; instead, it formally presents the study's findings to the legislature. The study examines whether background checks for program participants are feasible under current regulations (referencing CMR 67.02 and federal law). This submission informs future decisions about background check policies but does not directly affect residents or alter current program operations.
