*MLPB Digital Digest
Addressing Health-Related Social Needs
The health of individuals, families and communities hinges on access to: safe, healthy, and affordable housing; reliable heat, lights, water, internet and phone service; nutritious food; transportation resources; protection from violence, abuse, and exploitation; and much more. Our team created the Digital Digest as an open access tool to provide current information about evolving legal areas that most impact health. We spotlight key resources, benefits and protections in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and federal law. The Digest can be used to access content that gives guidance and legal problem-solving strategies.
IMPORTANT: This information is for educational purposes only, and nothing in the Digital Digest should be construed as legal advice. MLPB will update this content as appropriate, and all Digest information contains a timestamp to indicate when the information was last updated.
