When people think about homelessness, older adults are often left out of the conversation.

Yet across Massachusetts, many older adults are facing impossible choices: paying rent or paying for medication, buying groceries or keeping up with utility bills.

This Older Adult Homelessness Awareness Month, we recognize the challenges older adults face and reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that every person has the opportunity to age with dignity, stability, and security.

Because housing stability matters at every stage of life.

Strides for Action and the 40th Anniversary of the AIDS Walk Boston honors the lives, resilience, and power of communities impacted by HIV/AIDS—and the urgent need for LGBTQIA+ affirming care.

Youth experiencing homelessness face dramatically higher rates of HIV and AIDS-related health outcomes — another reminder that stable housing is healthcare. Every young person deserves safety, stability, and access to the support they need to thrive.

Strides for Action and the 40th Anniversary of the AIDS Walk Boston honors the lives, resilience, and power of communities impacted by HIV/AIDS—and the urgent need for LGBTQIA+ affirming care.

But we can’t end the epidemic without housing. Nationally, 17% of people living with HIV are also experiencing homelessness—making stable housing a critical part of care, health, and dignity.

Join us on May 31st and be part of the movement for housing and health equity.

We are grateful to Susan, Joan, and the knitting ministry at The United Church of Christ in Medfield for their generous donation of 100 handmade baby sleep sacks to support the Birth to Big Kid Initiative.

These thoughtfully made items will help provide safe sleep support and essential resources to families across Massachusetts during the earliest stages of childhood.

Through the Birth to Big Kid Initiative, MCH supports over 300 mothers and infants each year from pregnancy through early childhood—helping build strong foundations for long-term stability.

Thank you for helping us Be the Bridge for families across the Commonwealth
