Bill > S978

This bill amends an existing law related to the HomeBase Program by adding a new eligibility requirement. Specifically, the bill stipulates that to qualify for the HomeBase program, an individual must have been residing in the Commonwealth (Massachusetts) for at least one year prior to applying. This provision appears to be designed to limit program access to those who have established a certain level of residency in the state, potentially ensuring that the program benefits long-term residents. The HomeBase Program is likely a housing assistance or support program administered by the state, though the specific details of the program are not provided in this bill text. By adding this one-year residency requirement, the legislation aims to create a more targeted approach to distributing housing resources or support.
