PrintQuestions and Answers for Massachusetts community advocates
On October 27, 2020, the Massachusetts Access to Justice Commission sponsored a question and answer session for community providers, to share information about common questions people may have now that the Massachusetts eviction moratorium is over. Topics included:
- What the court process and timelines will be like -- both for cases that were frozen when the eviction moratorium went into effect and for new eviction cases
- Information about the federal CDC moratorium
- How to get help if your client has limited english proficiency
- What resources are available -- including legal information and representation, and financial help with back rent such as RAFT
