Benefit Enrollment Assistance: We assist individuals with applying for public benefit programs, provide language interpretation and document translation as needed, and help them navigate the application process. Services include assistance with TAFDC (Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children), EAEDC (Emergency Aid to the Elderly, Disabled, and Children), SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), and SUN Bucks.

Energy & Fuel Assistance: We help individuals and families access programs that reduce energy costs and maintain essential utility services. Our staff provides application assistance, eligibility screening, and referrals for programs such as CMAA Fuel Assistance, CTI’s Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), Mass Save®, and other available utility assistance programs. We guide clients through the application process, help them understand program requirements, and connect them with the resources that best meet their household’s energy and heating needs.

Need Legal Support? We’re Here To Help (Walk-In Welcome) Every 2nd Tuesday of the Month 10 AM – 12 PM 

CMAA partners with Northeast Legal Aid to expand access to free legal services for low-income individuals and older adults. Through this partnership, we help protect clients’ legal rights, address barriers to essential resources, and advance a more equitable community where everyone has the opportunity to meet their basic needs and live with dignity. 

We assist individuals with basic resume development, job search guidance, and employment readiness support. We also help clients apply for Massachusetts Unemployment Insurance (UI), navigate the application process, and provide step-by-step instruction on how to complete and submit their first weekly UI claim.
