The bill mandates the Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) to report on the status of its 2-Gen Economic Mobility Program, which aims to assist low-income families by addressing economic mobility barriers. The report will include data on program participants, their educational and employment status, and demographic information. The DTA has implemented a Two-Generational (2-Gen) approach to support both parents and children, recognizing their interconnected outcomes. This approach is particularly focused on young parents under 25, providing them with coordinated services through partnerships with the Department of Public Health (DPH) and community-based agencies.

Additionally, the bill highlights the Massachusetts Pregnant and Parenting Teen Initiative (MPPTI), which has served over 1,200 young parents and aims to enhance family stability and life opportunities. The report outlines the demographics of participants and their progress in areas such as education, employment, and housing stability. The DTA and DPH collaboration has led to the development of a toolkit for practitioners working with young parents, emphasizing strength-based and equity-informed practices. The bill underscores the importance of engaging young parents in policy discussions to improve service delivery and support economic mobility.
