A program is being launched that targets youth homelessness in the most populous county in western Massachusetts.
Funded by a $2.4 million federal grant, the program is designed to help people in Hampden County under the age of 24 avoid becoming homeless by providing social services, stable housing, and education and employment opportunities.
There is a 24-hour helpline: 413-316-4979
WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Gerry McCafferty, the director of the city of Springfield’s Office of Housing.
