What comprises the network?
The network is a collaborative effort of
130 nonprofit agencies in Massachusetts. Members share INDEX databases. A call to one of the member agencies provides the consumer access to the expertise of the entire network. Each year, the Network expands to include new agencies. If your agency is interested, please submit an application to join our network..
