A migrant mother who has received $30,000 through a Massachusetts housing assistance program is now asking for more help.
Nadine, who declined to share her last name citing deportation fears, moved to the United States from Haiti in 2021, the Boston Globe reports.
She has been living in a subsidized three-bedroom apartment in Dorchester, regarded as Boston's most diverse neighborhood, with her four-year-old son for the past year.
Nadine received $30,000 in aid through Governor Maura Healey's HomeBASE emergency shelter program which can be used towards monthly rent payments, security deposits, associated broker's fees, furniture purchases and more.
HomeBASE offers recipients an up to two-year rental subsidy, but Nadine has claimed her funds ran out in just 10 months and she is now on the brink of homelessness.
She lost her job as a home health aide in April and her boyfriend is no longer residing in the home, making it hard for her to cover her $1,000 share of the $3,000 monthly rent.
She has now turned to a refugee resettlement organization for help, claiming that HomeBASE 'was a dead end for me'.
HomeBASE recipients are required to dedicate at least 30 percent of their monthly income towards their rent. The program will pay the remainder.
The program will provide $30,000 over the course of a two-year period, but in cases like Nadine's the money isn't lasting that long.
Families can contribute a larger percentage of their monthly income towards rent if they so choose, which Nadine suggests could stretch the stipend further.

Getty image, sorry.
And I have potholes the size of Brooklyn at the end of my street in MA.
But yeah…lets give this person another $30k.
And there are two of them in the apartment. Were there not 2 bedroom units available? That might have stretched the money a bit longer.
Boy I sure wish someone would hand me $30,000 to help with my monthly expenses.
But I’m a white heterosexual American male.
So I get nothing.

Massholes give this money to “immigrants” no problem. See a veteran in need? Pound sand!
OK Demoncrats ... I mean Democrats another illegal alien to defend.
God is bankrupting us for our sinful behaviors. Bring it. Pig slop might lead us to ponder our choices finally.
What the hell are Haitians doing here anyway? They aren’t Americans.
The far-left maggots are throwing our taxpayer dollars at freeloading foreigners and then do TV commercials asking us to send them money to feed American kids. We’ve got one sicko government.
They are seeking financial asylum.
Agree
Another illegal ingrate.
Send her back.
