Volunteers of America

About

Volunteers of America Massachusetts, known as VOAMASS, is a nonprofit that serves low-income, homeless and vulnerable people across Eastern Massachusetts. It provides outpatient behavioral health counseling, residential behavioral health programs, veteran services, re-entry and diversion programs, workforce development and assisted living. Care is integrated around three pillars of a healthy life: health care, safe housing and financial stability, with trauma-informed, evidence-based services shaped by each person’s needs and goals.

The organization has been serving the region for more than 100 years and is part of Volunteers of America, the national nonprofit founded in 1896. Its nearly 200 employees serve thousands of people across the Commonwealth each year, providing behavioral health, case management, employment and housing services through an integrated approach. Impact stories and annual reports share client experiences, including one woman’s account of how quickly a life can unravel and how she found a lifeline when she needed it most.
