MAA is proud to recognize Heading Home as our Charitable Partner!
Heading Home’s mission is to end homelessness in Greater Boston by providing a supported pathway to self-sufficiency that begins with a home, together with critical services such as life skills, financial literacy, and job training.
Last year, Heading Home provided emergency, transitional and permanent housing; homelessness prevention services; and support services, to 8,000+ Â homeless and formerly homeless children and adults, primarily in the communities of Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Lawrence, Malden, Medford, Quincy, Revere, and Somerville.
Through our housing and support services, 194 households were placed out of homelessness and into permanent housing, with 97%+ retaining that permanent housing one year later – a testament to Heading Home’s client-centered, housing-plus-services model.
MAA proudly supports Heading Home through several annual initiatives, including our annual golf tournament, backpack drive, and shelter beautification projects. We also participate in an Up & Out Volunteer Day, where MAA members come together to furnish, shop for, and decorate an apartment for a family transitioning into permanent housing. By the end of the day, the apartment is ready for the family to move in, helping create a welcoming home and a fresh start. Through these efforts, MAA is proud to support Heading Home’s mission and make a meaningful difference in the lives of families in our community.
