Shelter, Inc., founded in 1974 by community members, offers refuge to homeless adults and families -providing for their needs with dignity and respect in small, homelike supportive environments and helping them to establish supports and resources essential to independent living. Homelessness has increased significantly in the past two decades, now affecting over 20,000 men, women, and children in Greater Boston.


Mission Statement: Heading Home’s mission is to end homelessness in Greater Boston by providing a supported pathway to self-sufficiency that begins with a home, together with critical services such as life skills, financial literacy, and job training. Heading Home provides emergency, transitional and permanent housing, and support services, to low-income homeless and formerly homeless families and individuals in the communities of Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Medford, Quincy, Revere, and Somerville. As our name reflects, we believe that a stable home provides the optimal foundation to get back on track; our programs focus heavily on assessment, engagement, individual goal-setting and securing permanent housing for our clients as quickly as possible.
