FamilyAid

A great big shoutout to our fantastic group of volunteers from Bell Partners, who recently came to our Family Navigation Center for a full day of service! They cleaned our play space and kitchen, assembled seasonal clothing packs and organized hygiene items for kiddos in our care. We're so grateful 🫶

We're so grateful to our community of supporters, whose generosity helps us prevent homelessness before it starts, keeping families safe, stable and hopeful for the future. The resources families desperately need are limited, but their need is only growing.

5,164 children and parents served. 88% avoided eviction. 3,491 were prevented from being homeless altogether.

That's what our community made possible this year.

Every data point in this carousel represents a family who had somewhere to turn when they needed help most. These numbers represent the parents who showed up daily to create better lives for their kids. The FamilyAid team who never gave up on them. The volunteers who stepped in when the need was greatest. And the donors who funded our work all year.

We’re celebrating a major milestone for one of the parents we support. After participating in an exclusive FamilyAid screening day for a paid training program at Boston Children’s Hospital this summer, Maria, a mom of two high school girls, made it through multiple rounds of interviews and was recently offered a position in the program!

We're grateful for local partners like Boston Children's for offering opportunities for career development and economic mobility for parents in our care. Congratulations, Maria!

Housing instability and homelessness can be devastating for the children and parents who experience them, but we work every day to counteract that trauma.

Data shows that—with the support, resources and trauma-informed care clients receive from their care team, along with the positive experiences provided through our Children's Dream Fund—families can build resilience and achieve brighter futures. 🤝💙
