The crisis in family homelessness is escalating rapidly. Every night in Massachusetts, 2,000 homeless families are in shelters and more than 1,000 stay in motels. Thousands more are doubled or tripled up in others’ apartments, moving from one location to another.

Hear the Vision for a new system, where shelters are used only for emergency transitions and everyone has a permanent place to live.

See How that Vision is being implemented despite crushing budget cuts.

Learn How Congregations & Congregants can become involved in programs to help end homelessness.
