We are the face of health care for Boston's homeless individuals and families. Last year alone, Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program delivered services to more than 11,000 homeless individuals and families
In our 30+ year history, we have evolved into the largest and most comprehensive health care for the homeless program in the country. Our success as a national model results from:
--The commitment of talented professionals and clinicians;
--A strong record of responsible financial stewardship;
--A network of public and private community partnerships; and,
--A willingness to take reasonable risks to pursue our mission.
Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program began in 1985 as one of 19 Health Care for the Homeless Programs funded nationally by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Pew Charitable Trust.
United Way of Massachusetts Bay exists to build more equitable communities, together. With over 85 years of local impact in eastern Massachusetts, we work with and for our communities to build economic prosperity and enable everyone–across races and ethnicities–to share in the knowledge, wealth and resources available. We believe that the key to unlocking opportunity is uniting people, and we bring together individuals, community leaders, corporate partners, legislators and organizations to build a powerful engine of change.
We fuel new ideas, develop programs and take innovative approaches to solve some of the region’s most entrenched and systemic inequities. With communities at the center of everything we do, we unlock avenues of prosperity that uplift those who have been marginalized, and create opportunity. We believe in the possibility of vibrant, abundant, prosperous, healthy and equitable future through the power of the united collective.
