News  Meeting the Moment, A Community Conversation and Resource Fair

Northampton Senior Center 67 Conz Street, Northampton, MA 01060 and on Zoom — Join us for the third in our series of community conversations, hosted in partnership with MassAbility, to listen and learn from individuals with disabilities, families, caregivers, service providers, and advocates.

This gathering will focus on key issues including housing; employment; transportation; and long-term services and supports and health equity.

Community members are encouraged to participate by sharing their experiences, challenges, and ideas related to these topics either in person or virtually via Zoom. Individuals interested in speaking during the community conversation should register and submit written comments by July 9 to cspwdinfo@mass.gov. 

The event will also provide an opportunity to connect with local organizations, state agencies, and disability commissions through an in-person resource fair.
