Landlords Should Take RAFT It s the Law - Banker & Tradesman

Housing Stability   The Census Household Pulse Survey asked renters in March how confident they were in being able to pay April rent. Twenty–seven percent of Massachusetts renters were not confident, the lowest percentage of any state except for Vermont. With all due respect to Vermont, where housing costs are not as high, our COVID-19 housing safety net in Massachusetts may be the best in the nation.  The program Residential Assistance for Families in Transition (RAFT) has, in less than a year, ramped up to be the preeminent (and movingly named) housing stabilization service of the pandemic. So far it has generously covered over $50 million in rent arrears and going forward stipends. Thanks to federal largess, it is expected to cover $1 billion over the next year, the entirety of pandemic housing, up to 15 months per impacted household. 

Stoughton police Lt McGowan suspended after church incident hearing

STOUGHTON  A police lieutenant who was the subject of a disciplinary hearing about his alleged failure to tell his bosses about a December incident at a church involving a Black man with mental health issues will receive a two-day suspension and must undergo training.  In a Tuesday letter detailing the decision, Town Manager Robin Grimm found that Lt. Daniel McGowan s actions on Dec. 27 were in violation of the department s notification to the chief policy and a prior warning by Deputy Chief Brian Holmes in August 2019 after a previous incident in which McGowan didn t notify him or Chief Donna McNamara.  My goal with any decision with any department isn t to take money out of people s pockets. It s to make better employees,  Grimm said about her decision.  We can address the needs of the community, get a better employee, and still hold accountability for where he didn t follow a direct order.
