“By prohibiting individuals who do not qualify for federally subsidized housing from displacing duly qualified persons on Massachusetts housing waiting lists, the Legislature has taken a necessary step in the prioritization of taxpayer-funded benefits.
The amendment passed today by the House of Representative recognizes that there continues to be a limited amount of public housing in the Commonwealth, and ensures that those vital resources will be available for those who have played by the rules and have demonstrated a need for public assistance.”
