During 2010, we collaborated with over 50 organizations and funding groups to:
- Save the Massachusetts Affordable Housing Law (Chapter 40B) and ensure it remained state law even when threatened by a ballot initiative
- Continue the work of ending homelessness by supporting the Governor’s proposed changes to the state’s shelter system
- Advocate for equal rights for low-income and immigrant workers
- Organize and rally support for CORI reform
- Support foreclosure prevention programs in communities facing high rates of this crisis
- Connect with other funders supporting community organizing, learn to be a better resource for grantees and how we can further our work in this arena
