Heading Home

Heading Home’s mission is to end homelessness in Greater Boston by providing a supported pathway to self-sufficiency that begins with a home, together with critical services such as life skills, financial literacy, and job training. 

Heading Home provides emergency shelter, transitional housing, permanent housing, and supportive services to homeless and formerly homeless families and individuals in Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Medford, Quincy, Revere, and Somerville.

For 15 years running, Heading Home’s clients have achieved an annual permanently housed retention rate of 90+%. We believe this long success rate has to do with how our housing and services complement each other: goal-oriented, client-focused coaching that emphasizes getting housed and developing the skills to stay housed and become more self-sustaining.
