Ken Sigel and friend, John McGaffigan, are hard at work today getting a below-market-rate rental apartment ready for occupancy. The single greatest cause of family homelessness is the high cost of this region's rental housing. MASH's new initiative calls for investing in below-market-rate rentals in order to provide an affordable housing option for local families who are otherwise priced out of the rental market.

Thanks to the amazing volunteers who helped MASH sell soda and water at Olde Mistick Village's Garlic Festival this past weekend. Your support made all the difference! And our gratitude to Olde Mistick Village for giving MASH the opportunity to raise funds for our mission, Preventing Family Homelessness.
