The Daily Table needs our help to restore access to healthy food for SNAP families! Please consider donating to their Go Fund Me: https://lnkd.in/em6bgMCgDue to unexpected funding challenges, this vital program, Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB), has been temporarily paused in both Salem and Boston, MA. The Daily Table is near and dear to POAH as its Boston location is part of the retail space at The Loop at Mattapan Station, providing access to our residents amongst many others in the community. "We know this nutrition incentive is something our neighbors rely on to feed their families healthy fruits & vegetables every week and make their SNAP benefit dollars go further. On average 3,000 SNAP customers per week currently use this program at Daily Table. We urgently need your help to restore this SNAP nutrition incentive program, ensuring our neighbors can continue to access affordable, nutritious food. Every dollar you contribute goes directly towards bringing back this program that benefits families, supports local farmers, and strengthens our community."

State and local officials gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony this morning at LeClair Village, a new three-building community in Mashpee featuring 39 affordable rental units. LeClair Village was developed through a partnership between Housing Assistance and Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH). The property is named after Mary LeClair, a longtime champion of housing issues on Cape Cod and a former board member at Housing Assistance, who continues to advocate for housing and other causes at the age of 90.#AffordableHousing #savethelocals
