We believe that home is the foundation of a thriving life, and a dignity to which everyone has the right. HomeStart is an innovative nonprofit whose mission is to end and prevent homelessness in Greater Boston. To date, HomeStart has permanently housed more than 14,000 people out of homelessness and prevented more than 4,000 households from being put out through eviction– with 95% of those households remaining securely housed even 48 months after the intervention. Our approach is three-pronged: Eviction Prevention: Intervening to prevent families and individuals experiencing homelessness by way of eviction by providing advocacy and financial assistance. Housing Search: Assisting families and individuals who are staying in shelters or living on the street with the process of finding and moving into a stable, affordable place to call home. Housing Stability: Providing wrap-around case management and supportive services to help formerly homeless clients maintain stable housing connected to their communities of support.
