On the outside of the envelope there would be written information and guidance on the envelope regarding ways to enhance effective communication between a police officer and a person with autism spectrum disorder. The envelope must also include instructions for access to the envelope, including attaching it to the sun visor on the driver’s side of the vehicle. The bill is designed to enable the driver to quickly and easily hand the envelope to a police officer during a traffic stop. Supporters said that since the program was adopted by the State Police in 2024, more than 12,000 Blue Envelopes have been distributed. They said that the codification into law is expected to increase both access to and awareness of Blue Envelopes for drivers and law enforcement officers. “I am overjoyed that this necessary bill to enshrine the Blue Envelopes Program in law will soon be on its way to the governor’s desk,” said Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton), the sponsor of an original version of the proposal. AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR WORKING CLASS FAMILIES – Heading Home, Inc., a nonprofit provider of shelter, housing and support serSELLER1 Shahin, Suliman Shahin, Suliman Norton, Crystal Tadic, Ferida Charles, Mark S vices for families and individuals, announced it is actively seeking to acquire a property to test what it calls “an innovative, scalable affordable housing solution for working-class families across Massachusetts.” Requirements for the lot include approximately one-half acre of buildable land, ideally located in a by-right zoning district in Eastern Massachusetts. Heading Home plans to build a 6-to-12-unit modular structure on the property consisting of 2– and 3-bedroom apartments. The organization expects to rent the units for $1,500 to $2,200 per month to households earning between $58,000 and $115,000 annually or 50% to 80% of Area Median Income. Supporters explained that Heading Home is testing a model designed to work where the market and the subsidy system don’t. The project will utilize a Massachusetts-based turnkey modular builder to reduce construction timelines and lower construction costs -– an efficient, cost-effective model that can be replicated across other communities. Financing for the pilot will include philanthropic donations, low-interest lending and private financing. Once the model has been tested and demonstrated to be financially sustainable, Heading Home plans to expand the initiative and continue Charles, Dawn M developing additional housing using this self-sustaining approach. They noted that Massachusetts continues to face a severe housing affordability crisis. In Greater Boston, a household now needs to earn close to $200,000 annually to afford a median-priced home in the region, or at least $120,000 per year to afford rent for a two-bedroom apartment in the suburbs. The average two-bedroom apartment in Boston and Cambridge rents for $4,300 per month, and around $3,000 per month in the suburbs. “The state’s affordable housing system currently serves only about 32 percent of eligible households,” said Danielle Ferrier, CEO of Heading Home. “The sector has spent decades prioritizing its resources for families in the lowest income brackets, while most for-profit developers are focused on their bottom line. The result is housing that’s cost-prohibitive to a large share of the state’s workforce. Many are forced to live paycheck to paycheck, struggling to cover the most basic costs of housing and food. That’s just not acceptable.” HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislaSELLER2 ADDRESS 120 Wyllis Ave #217 120 Wyllis Ave #217 215 Springvale Ave 18 Winter St 92 Irving St CITY Everett Everett Everett Everett Everett tive sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of June 8-12, the House met for a total of 11 hours and four minutes and the Senate met for a total of eight hours and 49 minutes.
