The South
Coast Regional Network to End Homelessness (SOCO) provided human
service staff in Bristol County the opportunity on January 11, 2017 to
learn how to assist homeless families. The training was led by Angela
Eddings of Catholic
Social Services, the agency that is contracted with the Mass.
Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) to authorize
placement of homeless families in shelters. The half-day session covered
both emergency shelter placement and placement in permanent supported
housing through procedures under "The Call" to a 1-800 line that
serves as a single access point for all emergency shelter services in
Bristol County. Click here for a
