Bill > S986

This bill proposes an amendment to an existing law regarding emergency housing assistance in Massachusetts, specifically limiting the program's eligibility to only United States citizens who are residents of the state. The proposed change would restrict access to the emergency housing assistance program, effectively excluding non-citizens from receiving this type of support, even if they are legal residents of Massachusetts. By adding this language, the bill aims to narrow the scope of who can receive emergency housing support, potentially impacting homeless families who are not U.S. citizens. The bill does not provide specific details about the existing emergency housing assistance program or the criteria for eligibility beyond citizenship status, but it represents a significant modification to the current housing assistance framework in Massachusetts.
