Urge legislators to cosponsor bills to help families!

Senator

Subject: Please Co-Sponsor EMPath's Priority Amendments

Message:

As your constituent and an advocate with Economic Mobility Pathways (EMPath), I'm writing to urge you to co-sponsor EMPath's list of priority amendments, all of which either prioritize breaking down barriers to affordable housing for families in poverty or promote a greater sense economic mobility. It is imperative that we not only sustain the programs that currently work to serve the families who need them most, but continue to build them up through funding and codification. - Mass Rental Voucher Program (MRVP) – $21.7M to bring the line item to $300M, which would help create approximately 1,000 new vouchers (Sen.
