Securing housing but have a criminal record

Cambridge Police

Through the Cambridge Second Chance Program, members of the Cambridge Police Department’s Clinical Support Unit work with eligible residents and various partners through the Cambridge Community Court to seal their statutorily-eligible CORI (criminal offender record information) in order to help support long-term, unhoused residents who have not been able to secure housing due to their criminal records.

If any unhoused residents who fit this criteria are interested in participating in the Cambridge Second Chance Program, they should contact their Housing Case Manager or the Cambridge Police Clinical Support Unit.
