Heading Home
About
Heading Home is a Boston-based nonprofit working to prevent and end homelessness across Eastern Massachusetts. It provides emergency shelter, supportive housing, homelessness prevention, clinical care and career services to families and individuals, with personalized support aimed at lasting stability and independence. Alongside these direct services, the organization pursues larger advocacy and affordable housing work to give every family and individual the stability they need to thrive.
Its Emergency Assistance Family Shelter program offers immediate, safe, temporary shelter and serves as a critical entry point into the housing system. Supportive and transitional housing programs give formerly homeless individuals and families with disabilities longer-term homes combined with services. The Career and Financial Services program offers individualized coaching and asset building, while trauma-informed clinical assessments help staff understand the needs of both children and caregivers so they can tailor support.
