Friends Of Boston's Homeless

Friends of Boston's Homeless works in partnership with Homeless Services of the Boston Public Health Commission to develop and fund innovative, solution-oriented programs to help the homeless move beyond shelter and back into the community as independent citizens.

Together, Friends of Boston's Homeless and Homeless Services provide basic shelter (bed, shower, food), comprehensive supportive services (health and mental health care, case management, substance abuse treatment and counseling), and transitional programs like job training and employment services, adult education and literacy, life skills development, and transitional and permanent affordable housing. Shelters associated with Homeless Services include Long Island Shelter (located in Boston Harbor) and Woods Mullen Shelter in the South End.
