Somerville Homeless Coalition "Finding everyone a home"
Fighting homelessness, eviction and food insecurity for 40 years!

In 1985, our local community created the SHC in a grassroots effort to address the social crisis of homelessness. Neighbors, community activists, university students, faith-based leaders, business supporters, and city officials united to make the SHC's first endeavor -- the city's first emergency shelter for homeless adults -- a reality.

Thank you, athenahealth!
