The Homelessness Assistance Program (HAP)
(New England Farm Workers) (413) 536 - 5403
Assists those area families at risk of becoming -- or who already are -- homeless but not eligible for shelter to secure or keep permanent housing. In contrast to our Emergency Shelter Program, HAP often helps with strained tenant/landlord relations and can be an important factor in preventing eviction. Other services include family counseling, housing search assistance and life skills training and household financial management education. In a typical year, this program assists well over 1,000 families meeting these criteria. In a majority of cases, program staff were able to short-circuit the downward spiral into homelessness.
