An Act creating the engaging neighborhoods, organizations, unions, governments and households fund ("The ENOUGH Act")

This bill creates the ENOUGH Fund to support collaborative efforts aimed at reducing poverty in Massachusetts's most distressed neighborhoods. The fund will be administered by the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities and can be financed through state appropriations, donations, and interest earnings. It provides grants to place-based partnerships involving schools, local governments, and non-profits to develop comprehensive strategies that address needs such as housing, health, education, and job access. Eligible communities must have high concentrations of low-income residents or children living in poverty to qualify for these grants. The program includes specific funding tracks for partnership development, planning, and long-term implementation to ensure sustained community improvement.
