WANT TO HELP THE VICTIMS OF CRUMBLING FOUNDATIONS?
CALL AND/OR EMAIL THE FOLLOWING
Contact Governor Healey - email her Deputy Legislative Director Patrick Brown at Patrick.J.Brown@mass.gov - tell him you want the Governor to use her power of executive order to start the Crumbling Foundation Assistance Commission that would make recommendation to the legislature on how best to move a foundation replacement program forward and how to fund it. We need this commission to get it's report to the legislature early in the next session so we don't have yet another 2 year process waiting for a stand alone bill to be passed. 7 years is long enough to wait for something to be done about his crisis!

Why Do You Need To Take Action?
Information
Concrete used in homes in contained the mineral pyrrhotite, which degraded foundations. Without repairs costing $150,000 to $250,000, affected homes eventually would be uninhabitable.
Private Insurance companies have denied homeowners’ claims to cover the cost of foundation repairs. In 2019, the Connecticut State Supreme Court ruled that homeowners’ insurance policies can exclude crumbling foundations under the existing definition of “collapse.”
