Reply to comment by RoliePolieCannoli_ in Homeless with a 3 year old by ItalianMama95

I have food stamps and cash assistance for my son, $506 a month cash assistance and $230 a month SNAP. That is my income. They have told me I’m it eligible myself for snap or cash assistance because I’m not a citizen.

I believe EA shelter is open to folks regardless of citizenship status. You just need to prove MA residency (I.e. driver’s license)

Yes definitely, the issue is wether they have room or not. Unfortunately they all get filled up very quickly

If you’re open to going anywhere in MA they can place you within a couple of weeks. Regulations say they need to place you immediately

I literally tried the whole of MA, RI and CT last time and they didn’t place me at all. I even mentioned to MA shelters that MA is a right to shelter state and they said they couldn’t help me as they had no space
