One Year of Trust. One Year of Impact.
In August 2025, BAY-CASH launched its direct cash demonstration, taking a major step toward reimagining how we address youth homelessness in Massachusetts.
Our Year One Report highlights the progress we've made, the lessons we've learned, and the impact of trusting young adults with the resources and support they need to thrive. From providing direct cash and personalized support to strengthening community partnerships and advancing systems change, our first year has laid the foundation for a future without youth homelessness.
