The Daily Hampshire Gazette reported yesterday on the Governor’s failure to release the legislatively authorized funding for Craig’s Doors emergency shelter in Amherst (including a legislative override of the Governor’s veto).  Craig’s Doors is the only behavior based shelter in the Pioneer Valley and provides emergency shelter to 26 individuals on a nightly basis.
Please contact the Governor’s office to urge him to release this funding. His contact information is here: http://www.mass.gov/governor/constituent-services/contact-governor-office/.
State Senator Stan Rosenberg and Representative Solomon Goldstein-Rose have been strongly advocating for the Governor to release these funds.  Please contact them to thank them and let them know how important it is to keep up the pressure.
Senator Rosenberg: [email protected]617-722-1532
Representative Goldstein-Rose: Solmon.Goldstein-Rose@mahouse.gov – 617-722-2582
