Making Systemic Change
The Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless has a rich history dating back to the early 1980s as a leader in the fight to prevent and end homelessness here in the Commonwealth. The agency is steadfast in our belief that homelessness can be resolved by ensuring access to safe, affordable, permanent housing for the
lowest income households and providing opportunities for families,
individuals, and youth to build economic stability.

Preventing and Ending
Youth Homelessness
The Massachusetts Youth Count is biannual survey conducted by the Massachusetts Unaccompanied Homeless Youth Commission to understand the needs and demographics of homeless or unstably housed youth under 25. It partners with young people, service providers, and community organizations to conduct the survey, offering leadership opportunities and connecting participants to resources. The data collected informs advocacy and programming to address youth homelessness.
Protect Access to Emergency Family Shelter
Stay updated on the Emergency Assistance Program with the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless. We are actively working to protect emergency shelter access for families in crisis across Massachusetts. Recent policy changes have put many vulnerable families at risk, potentially leaving children without a safe place to sleep. Please take action to uphold the Commonwealth's 40 year commitment to providing shelter and services to children and families experiencing homelessness.
