Boston, MALocal News

The proposed changes in the Amendment to the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan focus on enhancing support for veterans facing homelessness.

This strategic shift highlights the city's commitment to improving housing accessibility for vulnerable populations. The public is invited to share their thoughts and feedback during the open comment period, which concludes on February 22, 2025.
