  • housing funds to divert from shelter via New England Farm Workers Council (Hampden County) and Berkshire Regional Housing Authority  (Berkshire County) with state HPRP funds;
  • rehousing funds for families living in motels via HAPHousing (state HPRP funds);
  • RAFT funding for homelessness prevention in Franklin and Berkshire Counties
  • suspension of DHCD tool box and flexible funds program (no further funding available);

Please let me know if you have additions or corrections.  And please let me know when your program’s resources change.  With your help, we will keep this directory accurate and most useful!

Thanks very much.
