Our Immigrant Integration Services provide essential resources and citizenship pathways, fostering self-sufficiency and active civic participation for Portuguese speakers throughout the Commonwealth.

The program provides personalized assistance around housing, employment, nutrition, fuel assistance, other public benefits, health insurance renewal and enrollment, and other daily life issues. We also refer clients to other resources in the community, including ESOL classes (English for Speakers of Other Languages), financial literacy, Portuguese-speaking legal services, and more.

MAPS is also a proud longtime member and supporter of MIRA – Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition.
