Additional information

We can prevent homelessness through mediation to resolve disputes between tenants and landlords and by administering emergency financial assistance. JAS mediators also resolve qualifying consumer disputes referred by district courts or the MA Attorney General's Office. JAS offers an array of services to meet the needs of low-income homeowners in Cambridge, including advisory services for condominium association finances, management, compliance, and leadership development.

We can also help low to moderate income residents with finding affordable apartments, homeownership opportunities, and housing assistance.
