Bill > H1301

This bill aims to eliminate asset limits for homeless shelters in Massachusetts. Specifically, it removes the language in the current law that allows denying assistance to individuals based on the amount of their personal property or assets, though any income generated by those assets may still be considered as countable income. The bill seeks to ensure that access to homeless shelter services is not restricted due to the amount of assets an individual possesses, reflecting a policy shift towards providing more inclusive and accessible support for those experiencing homelessness.
