FamilyAid Boston, Inc.
Mission
FamilyAid's mission is to empower parents and caregivers facing homelessness to secure and sustain housing and build strong foundations for their children’s futures. FamilyAid is Greater Boston’s largest organization solely dedicated to children and parents facing homelessness, providing educational and prevention services, emergency shelter, temporary housing, permanent housing placement and support, and comprehensive case management to 5,200 children and parents in FY25. FamilyAid's innovative educational and empowerment model is founded on a two-generational approach designed to disrupt the cycle of poverty and homelessness by ensuring that all family members have the resources and tools they need to be successful and self-sufficient in the long term. FamilyAid serves the lowest-income, unstably housed, and homeless families in the state facing the most complex societal and personal challenges: 98% in communities of color; 75% led by single mothers; 64% children; 49% who speak a first language other than English. Our families live in 33 communities in Eastern Massachusetts.
Vision
FamilyAid believes that the best way to end intergenerational homelessness is to prevent it from happening in the first place. Through our quality services and highly leveraged strategic partnerships, we ensure each of our clients – children and parents – has the resources and tools they need to be successful and self-sufficient in the long term. Our tested, proven programs reduce the cause, scope, and impact of homelessness on our children and parents, now and in the future, and continue to serve as a national model for this work.
Goals
- 1.Address the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' family homelessness crisis by deepening our 2Gen prevention services, enhancing our model of care for shelter residents and developing philanthropically driven solutions to gaps in government programming.
- 2.Through a $20M For the Kids campaign, increase philanthropic resources to bridge equity and accessibility gaps in prevention and trauma-informed children’s services that are not adequately addressed by government support programs.
- 3.Collaboratively advocate changes in municipal, state or federal policy and funding to benefit our family populations and our agency, and strengthen FamilyAid’s relationships with national, state and local philanthropic and policy influencers.
