Housing Assistance

Are you struggling with Rent or Mortgage Payments?

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has resources available for individuals and families struggling to make rent or mortgage payments.

There are eviction protections and financial programs available to help.

If you need help paying your housing costs, visit mass.gov/guides/facing-eviction-we-can-help.

If you are a TENANT and need to defend yourself against eviction filed by your LANDLORD:

  1. Visit the Massachusetts Defense for Eviction (MADE) website, an online guided interview that helps tenants create their own answer and request for discovery.

TENANTS and LANDLORDS who owe rent or mortgage should apply under the RAFT/ERMA program for up to $10,000 at the Metro Housing Boston, 1411 Tremont Street, Boston, MA 02120.
