Residential Assistance to Families in Transition (RAFT)
Households do not need to have legal immigration status in order to qualify for RAFT. However, any applicant or household member who has been issued a Social Security Number must provide it
- We’ll have to check with allies who is the best point of contact to support residents with RAFT applications
- Barrier: applying for RAFT through EOHLC portal may be difficult, and residents are more likely to make mistakes on an application
- A good question would be: Who/What agencies support Boston residents with RAFT applications?
- MetroHousing Boston
