Happy #NationalNonprofitDay! 🎉 Today, we’re especially grateful for our amazing staff and supporters–without you, we wouldn’t be able to do the work we do for children and parents. Thank you for supporting our mission to end family homelessness and create strong, bright futures for all families.

Our dedicated case managers partner with families to build personalized budgets to help them attain and maintain safe, permanent housing. We know that long-term stability starts with financial stability, and we’re committed to helping families develop the budgeting skills they need to thrive.

Did you know? 19 out of every 20 families (that’s 97%!) who secure stable housing with FamilyAid remain housed one year later. Plus, with a state-mandated maximum shelter stay of just six months, our families are successfully transitioning from crisis to stability thanks to our dedicated staff.

Children and parents across Greater Boston are facing rising costs, food insecurity and housing instability now more than ever before. With your support, FamilyAid can provide holistic, two-generational care, helping both children and parents move forward in life with strength and stability.

Financial literacy is essential for families to achieve stability and long-term success. FamilyAid works with families to ensure their economic well-being through financial literacy classes. With topics like budgeting and financial planning, our program allows families to thrive.
