Support for Massachusetts S.824 and H.3566 – An Act Promoting Housing Opportunity and Mobility Through Eviction Sealing

Sen. James B. Eldridge and Rep. Claire D. Cronin, Co-Chairs;
Sen. Sonia Chang-Diaz and Rep. Michael S. Day, Co-Vice Chairs;
and the members of the Joint Committee on the Judiciary
Sen Dean Tran and Representative Stephen Hay

I am writing to support and strongly urge you to move on S.824  and  H.3566 –   An  Act  Promoting Housing  Opportunity  and Mobility Through Eviction Sealing.  I beg you to move forward on this, as justice delayed is justice denied.  I ask you to allow person to request their eviction records be expunged in the interest of justice.
