The destruction upended so many lives, and yet the community showed up ready to help rebuild stronger than before. My Administration has their backs — we are committed to making sure Maui has everything the Federal Government can offer to heal and build back better and as fast as possible. Throughout these efforts, we remain focused on rebuilding the way the people of Maui want to build by respecting sacred lands, cultures, and traditions. A new emergency shelter is opening in Lexington, Massachusetts, to house migrant and other homeless families as the state continues to grapple with a strained and over-capacity shelter system. On Thursday, lawmakers in the House and Senate, also controlled by Democrats, sent Healey a compromise funding package for the shelter system that imposes new limits on how long both unhoused Massachusetts residents and new migrant arrivals can stay in the system. From complete renovations to a simple remodel, our team delivers every job with the same level of care, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence.

You heard Governors Kotek and Hochul speak about that, and employers, both public and private, absolutely need to bring child care on board to work and power us forward. Last year, as part of the Healey-Driscoll administration’s commitment to aggressively compete for federal funding, Massachusetts was awarded $19.7 million through the federal CHIPS and Science Act to establish the Northeast Microelectronics Coalition Hub (NEMC). NEMC is a regional hub that will advance the microelectronics needs of the U.S.

Reps. Mary Keefe, D-Worcester, John Mahoney, D-Worcester, and Brian Murray, D-Milford, have requested nomination papers from the state but had not brought signed and certified lists to the secretary of state's office as of late Tuesday afternoon. Donald Berthiaume, R-Spencer, said he is definitely running for re-election; however, Debra O'Malley, a spokesperson for the Secretary of the Commonwealth William F. Galvin, said the office has not received all his paperwork to date. Timme cited a UCLA CityLAB study suggesting that ADUs are feasible for 5% to 10% of the 500,000 single-family lots in Los Angeles, evidence that there’s plenty of room for programs to innovate without bumping up against the limits of supply.

Founded on July 2021, just after the pandemic's peak, Ma's Tea House is the product of a collaborative Ma Family project.

Department of Defense (DoD) while spurring new jobs, workforce training opportunities, and investment in the region’s advanced manufacturing and technology sectors. State lawmakers have been looking at ways to address the crisis, including coming up with a budget that dedicates millions of dollars to keep the family shelter program functional. There is also a proposal to limit the length of a stay at a shelter site to nine months, which worries advocates who say the average stay is significantly longer. Meanwhile, Colin Brown, a Democrat from Hardwick, has requested nomination papers to run for the 5th Worcester District seat held by Berthiaume. The secretary of state's office said he had not returned them as of Wednesday afternoon.

Mass. emergency shelter funding dwindling: details from Beacon Hill

One bill would bar people convicted of animal cruelty from owning another animal; another would extend protections afforded to dogs to other domesticated creatures. Others focus on preventing animal cruelty and others on protecting animals in the wild. The proposals, still under consideration in joint committees, would initiate a systemic review of existing statutes and recommend changes where needed. One would create a misdemeanor animal cruelty statute, allowing a creative way to address and adjudicate cases that do not rise to the level of felonies. At full capacity, the building should be able to house 55 families, according to the state, while officials look for more permanent solutions.

A 2019 study by the California Housing Partnership found that Los Angeles has an affordable housing shortage of more than 500,000 units. Timme and Leung said a few potential landlords were scared off by the stigma of Section 8 or by the goal of setting rent at a level that’s affordable for a low-income tenant. The MassHire Hampden County Workforce Board and its community partners are currently seeking a $20 million U.S.

My Administration has taken actions to expand background checks and fund efforts to strengthen red flag laws to keep Americans out of harm’s way. There is still so much to do, and I continue to urge the Congress to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. This month, we celebrate the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA and NHPI) communities, whose ingenuity, grit, and perseverance have pushed our great American experiment forward.

In the early 1920s Frank Lloyd Wright split his time between completing the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo and a variety of commissions in the Los Angeles area. The Ennis House was designed for Charles and Mable Ennis in 1923 and was completed in 1924. The house is the fourth in a series of homes that have become known as the textile block designs done in Mayan Revival style. The right team is the foundation of every successful project, and at MAS Home Services, our team is the heart and soul of our business.

BOSTON — Central Massachusetts legislators hoping for reelection mostly beat the April 30 deadline for filing nomination papers with the municipal clerks and election officials in the communities they serve, and many have already secured a spot on the September primary ballot. House Democrats were united in their support of the bill while there were divisions within the 25-member House Republican caucus, where four members voted against the budget. We depend on ad revenue to craft and curate stories about the world’s hidden wonders. Consider supporting our work by becoming a member for as little as $5 a month.

Governments across California and beyond are working on similar programs to help solve the affordability crisis. Several — including Oakland, Los Angeles County and the Southern California Assn. of Governments — have looked to backyard homes as a potential model. As the ceremony celebrated the accomplishments of awardees, it also highlighted the pressing need for funding so that providers can continue the critical work they do. MOVA and allies are currently advocating for an initiative well known on Beacon Hill as The VOCA Bridge, a supplemental funding request to the Massachusetts legislature aimed at mitigating the disastrous impacts of significantly reduced federal funding for victim services. Notably, 2024 marks the 40th anniversary of the Massachusetts Victim Bill of Rights (VBOR), M.G.L. Chapter 258B.

Focusing on its neighborhood, Northeast L.A., it also plans to create a more holistic model that incorporates housing, small business support and community-led design programs. Design and construction of homes start at $100,000 for garage conversions or $130,000 for new construction. Through the program, homeowners can qualify to refinance through the Self-Help Federal Credit Union. The credit union estimates the value of the property after the ADU is built, increasing the equity available to borrowers. The new loan adds ADU construction costs to homeowners’ existing mortgage balance.

She added that they also want their programs to be more explicitly run by local residents. Guevara and Guevara Rosillo, who are building their ADU behind the existing Queen Anne cottage where they will continue to live, broke ground Dec. 7 and are scheduled to wrap construction this summer. Some companies, like L.A.-based United Dwelling, have offered free ADUs in homeowners’ backyards in exchange for a share of rent.

Recent renovations have stabilized the building and it remains a private residence rarely open to the public. Here at MAS Home Services, we are passionately dedicated to bringing your project to life with precision, care, and professionality. Every project is an opportunity to transform what could be a simple place, into a space of creativity, collaboration, and memories.
