Background
Massachusetts has a large immigrant population with a diverse set of experiences, skills, and goals in the Commonwealth. Communities have a role to play in supporting these residents and helping people navigate the immigration system and other social services. Learn more about current laws, regulations, and best practices to support immigrants in Massachusetts through the resources below.
For Municipalities
Municipal staff interested in connecting with other municipalities supporting migrants and immigrant communities, are invited to join MAPC’s Municipal Immigration Support Network (MISN) meetings hosted monthly.
If you are interested in joining this group, please contact Georgia Barlow at [email protected] to learn more.
