Massachusetts Governor proposes budget cutting aid to homeless families, sparking criticism.

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey's budget proposal includes funding for the state's Student Opportunity Act but faces criticism for cutting $40 million from the Residential Assistance for Families in Transition program. This reduction would lower financial aid for families from $14,000 to $7,000 over two years, raising concerns about the impact on vulnerable residents facing eviction and utility loss. Critics urge the governor to reconsider these changes to uphold the state's commitment to preventing homelessness.
