Emergency Planning Guide
The guide outlines care and custody options, including caregiver authorization, temporary agent authorization, and guardianship of a minor. The guide offers a comparison of how these options differ, and outlines the process for setting up each of these arrangements. It also offers a checklist of documents that parents may want to ensure they have in a safe place and available to the child and his or her caregiver as needed, such as passports, medical records, contact information and more.
SNAP and MassHealth Support
Thousands of Cambridge residents are being impacted by federal changes to SNAP and MassHealth eligibility. The City of Cambridge, Cambridge Economic Opportunity Committee, the Cambridge Community Foundation, and more than 30 community partners have created a coordinated network to help residents understand the changes, re-enroll in benefits if they are still eligible, and other resources to help them.
