DiDomenico Talks Local Issues and State Policy at Community Office Hours

Senator DiDomenico and his team hosted local office hour events in each community he represents throughout April. DiDomenico met with many constituents, heard their concerns, shared his legislative and budget goals for the year, and supported people having issues accessing various government services. The Senator will continue to host office hours both in the district and virtually periodically throughout the year. 

“Meeting with constituents is always important because it gives us the opportunity to meet residents where they are to support them, and we also hear about what issues are important to them so we can ensure our legislative priorities reflect their top concerns,” said Senator DiDomenico. “Making myself and my team accessible is a top priority so we will be having many more of these office hour events, but if anyone ever has questions or thoughts they want to share with us, please do not hesitate to reach out. I want to thank everyone who came out and spent time with our team.”

Senator DiDomenico Celebrates Over $11 Million Awarded to Prevent Youth Violence

DiDomenico has Long Championed this Annual Grant Program

BOSTON – Last month, the Healey-Driscoll Administration announced over $11 million in funding awarded through the Shannon Jr. Community Safety Initiative, including new funds to support violence prevention in public housing sites. Senator DiDomenico has championed this critical grant program for years and consistently advocated for increased funding. The program helps communities build programs to improve safety and reduce gang activity and is benefitting cities throughout Senator Sal DiDomenico’s district and in areas throughout the state. Thanks to this funding, communities can provide youth programming and help build and strengthen relationships between police and young people.

“I have supported this program for years and will continue to do so in order to reduce violence and protect young people in my district and across Massachusetts,” said Senator Sal DiDomenico. “I want to thank my colleagues and the broad coalition of advocates working with me to support funding the Shannon grants.”
