Dear Members & Friends,
If you or someone you know are facing eviction, you have rights and there are emergency financial resources available.
You have rights:
-A Notice to Quit is NOT an eviction.
-Only a judge can formally evict you from your home.
-If you live in Massachusetts and are being evicted for non-payment of rent, you cannot be evicted if you have a pending rental assistance application.
-If you need legal assistance, Greater Boston Legal Services can provide FREE legal services. Call (617) 603-1807 or email housinghelp@gbls.org
Emergency resources are available:
Massachusetts residents can call 211 to get answers to any urgent questions and resources are available in multiple languages. If you live in Boston, the Office of Housing Stability can connect you with financial relief application assistance and connect with legal help. To reach out call (617) 635-4200.
-Thanks to Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley for this information
