As part of her ongoing efforts to address the Commonwealth’s housing crisis, Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell launched a new grant program to support the implementation of Massachusetts’s eviction sealing law. The grant will provide funding to nonprofit organizations that provide legal services to support individuals and families through the eviction sealing process so that more eligible residents are able to seal their records and have a real opportunity for a fresh start.
“A record of an eviction case, even if the case has been dismissed or was brought in retaliation for a tenant exercising their rights, can have devastating impacts,” said AG Campbell. “I am proud to launch this new grant, which will support organizations helping residents seal their eviction records and open the door to stable housing for thousands of individuals throughout our state.”
