AI Summary
This bill aims to provide coordinated data and assistance to address family homelessness. It requires the creation of an annual comprehensive report on housing instability faced by families in Massachusetts, detailing information from various state agencies and departments on homelessness and housing instability. The bill also establishes a joint telephone hotline for residents to receive information and assistance on available benefits and eligibility processes, and requires state agencies to publicly post information on their programs, including a benefits calculator, and provide training to staff and vendors on the calculator to help families optimize their benefits and avoid "cliff effects" due to income eligibility rules.
