FamilyAid is Greater Boston?s leading provider of solutions to family homelessness. Our mission is to empower parents and caregivers facing homelessness to secure and sustain housing and build strong foundations for their children?s futures. We prevent homelessness whenever possible; reduce harm if homelessness can?t be avoided by getting families stably housed as quickly as possible and mitigating trauma, especially for children; and provide wraparound supports for children and parents that foster long-term stability. Our approach works: Families in our care make significant progress towards self-sufficiency within seven months, 64% of whom are rehoused within one year with a 99% retention rate, far outperforming national averages. Most importantly, our parents report that their children are healthier and happier. We have quadrupled in size in the last five years and remain on an exciting growth trajectory to serve more than 5,000 children and parents this year. We have launched bold new strategies to reduce two-generation homelessness by deepening and increasing our prevention, housing, and supportive services for children and parents. Significant new funding powers our strategic vision of serving more families through a deepened 2 Generation approach that reduces homelessness?s cause, scope, and impact.
