The East Boston Crisis Response Fund was established by a network of community and faith-based leaders to respond to urgent community crises. The Fund works to address systemic gaps in access to resources by distributing emergency funds quickly and efficiently to East Boston residents in early stages of a crisis. The Fund prioritizes people who have been locked out of access to other resources.

The fund prioritizes aid to directly affected individuals who are referred by partnering community-based organizations.

Distributions will be made monthly with the first round planned for February 2026.
