In Worcester, we are behind 12,000 units and that's not even affordable by the usual definition (where rent is 30% of a household's income). While we do need housing at all income levels, our residents aren't able to acces and afford naturally occurring housing, affrodable or

I encourage the City Manager to re-appoint the HRC chair and vice chair for continuity. This is something I motioned at the City Council meeting. I hope Manager Batista keeps this commission’s leadership intact. At a time where we need their institutional knowledge and

$11 million is what Worcester County receives in homelessness grants. Most of this money supports Worcester nonprofits who do housing & homelessness services. If this goes away, our homelessness response collapses entirely. We’re not listed in this lawsuit. But, we’re not
