When someone is facing multiple, complex challenges, coordinated support can make all the difference.

Each week, MetroWest Care Connection brings together service providers from Natick, Ashland, Marlborough, and Framingham for a Cross-Agency Care Planning meeting. By collaborating across organizations and sectors, our partners can quickly identify resources, coordinate services, and develop personalized outreach and intervention plans to connect people with the support they need.

Together, we're strengthening our communities—one coordinated plan at a time.

Since 2017, MetroWest Care Connection has been here to help our neighbors find the support they need and together, we've connected more than 20,000 people with essential community resources.

Whether you're looking for behavioral health services, housing assistance, food resources, healthcare, financial support, or other local services, MetroWest Care Connection is here to connect you with the right resources.

No one should have to navigate complex systems alone. That's why we're committed to making it easier for individuals and families throughout MetroWest to find the help they need.

If you or someone you know could use support, visit www.mwcareconnection.info to learn more and get connected.

Thank you to our community partners who help make this work possible every day. Together, we're building a stronger, healthier MetroWest. đź’™

At the end of June, the MetroWest Housing Coalition met with Representative Priscila Sousa to discuss the housing challenges facing Framingham residents and communities across the region.

Coalition members shared lived experiences and emphasized the importance of programs like HomeBASE and RAFT in helping prevent homelessness. Together with our partners at MIRA Coalition, the conversation also highlighted the connection between housing stability and immigrant rights.

We're grateful for Representative Sousa's partnership and commitment to advancing housing solutions that put working families, immigrants, and people of color at the center of the conversation.
