The Health Connector is pleased to announce that we are seeking applications from qualified and eligible organizations to serve as Navigators for the next grant cycle, which will be a three-year program (July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2027). 

The Navigator program is an outreach, education and enrollment assistance grant program required by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for every Health Insurance Marketplace. The Health Connector is the designated Health Insurance Marketplace for Massachusetts and administers the Navigator program in Massachusetts.
