The goal of this project was to improve the Massachusetts Alliance Against Predatory Lending (MAAPL) and the Worcester Anti-Foreclosure Team’s (WAFT) outreach to Massachusetts homeowners and renters at risk of eviction and foreclosure. MAAPL and WAFT are two organizations that fight to keep people in their homes. The team developed a means by which MAAPL and WAFT can expand and improve outreach by conducting SWOT analyses of current outreach strategies, improving outreach materials, and establishing relationships with partner organizations. The report concludes with recommendations to help MAAPL and WAFT to inform individuals and gain support to successfully fight illegal evictions and foreclosures in Massachusetts.
