FamilyAid

FamilyAid empowers parents and caregivers facing homelessness to secure and sustain housing and build strong foundations for their children's futures.

FamilyAid Boston provides a comprehensive set of services to: prevent families from becoming homeless whenever possible; provide 24/7 emergency shelter so that no family spends a night on the street; help homeless families regain their self-sufficiency and transition into permanent housing; and provide stabilization services such as employment assistance, education enrollment, and financial litera

cy to help ensure that newly-housed families remain in permanent homes. FamilyAid Boston is one of the leading homeless service organizations in Massachusetts, providing critical assistance to more than 4,000 children and parents each year.

Every family deserves the security of a place to call home. In the last year, FamilyAid kept 600 children and parents safely housed by providing emergency rental assistance and connecting them with community resources that support long-term stability. When families receive support early, prevention can make all the difference.

We’re committed to helping families achieve long-term stability and success. Through workforce development, financial education and support, we help parents improve their employment and development household budgets that account for rent, utilities and other essential expenses.
