Friends of Bostons Homeless Volunteer

Description : “ People experiencing homelessness have myriad vulnerabilities. They struggle with complex physical and mental health issues that are impossible to address amidst the chaos of homelessness. They are also often victims of crime, their safety constantly at risk.

Our Housing People First philosophy means we believe the solution to homelessness lies in helping people move quickly from the streets or shelters into safe, stable housing – immediately ending their homelessness and improving their quality of life.

By first removing the chaos of living on the streets and in shelters, people can finally engage in services they need to live peaceful, hopeful, and fulfilling lives in our community.

Housing People First demonstrates that, once people are housed, they can and do engage with health care providers and case managers, participate in support groups, establish routines, build relationships with family, friends, and community, and move on to more independent living – decreasing their need for services over time.”
