Massachusetts S2646 aims to transform the emergency response system and create housing strategies to end homelessness among unaccompanied adults.
Massachusetts S2646 mandates the executive office of housing and livable communities to study future shelter and housing needs for persons experiencing homelessness. The study will assess the demand for permanent supportive housing, non-congregate and congregate shelter models, and the feasibility of converting existing congregate beds to non-congregate housing or permanent supportive housing. The report, due by December 31, 2026, will include a five-year implementation goal to meet the unmet needs of affordable housing capacity for each municipality.
