Public Benefits and Community Assistance

Our team of social workers can help make referrals to community services, help you complete applications, navigate resources, and help connect you to mental health or substance misuse programs.

When people come in we can help them use their digital devices (smartphones, tablets, computers), apply for services online, learn digital literacy and safety/privacy tips, and get access to devices.

We can help you with applying for health insurance like MassHealth, Health Connector plans, Health Safety Net, Medicare and dental plans through the Massachusetts Health Connector.

Qualifying individuals can apply to receive affordable internet access and a new laptop.

The Cambridge Public Library offers free computer classes, book groups, English classes, makerspace workshops, and lots more upcoming opportunities to learn.
