HomeBase information for families that are homeless or at-risk of homelessness - July 29, 2011

The Commonwealth’s new HomeBase program for families experiencing homelessness will begin on Monday, August 1st.  Please click here if you experience an issue that will cause your family to become homeless on or after August 1st and you need more information.  Please click here if your family is currently receiving Emergency Assistance. These flyers were prepared by the Patrick-Murray Administration. 
 
The Patrick-Murray Administration would also like us to relay that families experiencing housing instability do not have to go to the local office on Monday, August 1st unless the family has nowhere else to go that day.  This is an ongoing program, and families will be assessed the same way if they seek assistance due to homelessness on Monday or days or months later.  If a family is not homeless but experiencing housing difficulties, the family should call the Housing Consumer Education Centers at 1-800-332-9667.  For more information on HomeBase or Emergency Assistance, please contact DHCD at 1-877-418-3308.
