Raise money for 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.
Founded in 1974, Heading Home is a leading provider of housing and support services for families with children and individuals in Greater Boston – a champion of innovative solutions that move people out of homelessness. We have been ending homelessness for thousands of people for nearly 50 years, expanding from a one-room Emergency Shelter program in Cambridge to more than quadrupling in size with programs throughout Greater Boston in response to a growing demand for shelters and services.
As an agency, our services are diverse; we provide emergency, transitional, and permanent housing, and support services, to extremely low-income individuals and families currently or formerly experiencing homelessness in Greater Boston. 83% of our 1,600+ clients identify as non-white and/or Hispanic/Latinx.
Our programs focus heavily on getting people permanently housed and sustaining that housing using an evidence-based, client-centered model. Essential support services provide the optimal foundation to support clients in achieving their goals. Such services include:
- Housing searches and placement
- Life-skills development
- Career coaching
- Financial education
- Assistance in obtaining essential benefits, childcare, and transportation.
We are proud to share that for 18 years running, Heading Home’s permanent housing retention rates have been 90%+. Last year, 95% of Heading Home clients remained housed after one year.
Safe, reliable housing means more to our individuals and families with children than just having a home. It means they can thrive and lead healthy, and productive lives.
Your donation provides immediate services for individuals and families with children in need.
