Massachusetts Senior Action Council, a statewide grassroots organization, will fully integrate its recently added Certified Application Counselor services to support people over 65 with health coverage applications over the long term.

The Massachusetts Organization for Addiction Recovery (MOAR) educates the public about the value of addiction recovery. The organization's central concerns are to reduce: the social stigma of addiction; the shortage of timely treatment to promote recovery and reduce overdose risk; the lack of long-term treatment; and the disproportionate effects of addiction on populations such as veterans, pregnant women, non-English speakers, communities of color, and recently incarcerated people. MOAR is led by people in recovery and engages people with lived experience to identify recovery barriers and solutions through individual peer work, group work, and coalition-building efforts. Bay State Community Services, Inc. serves as MOAR’s fiscal sponsor for this grant.

True Alliance Center, an immigrant-led grassroots organization, will further embed enrollment services in the rapidly growing Haitian community in Greater Boston.
