Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless
The Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless was created in 1981. It is committed to ensuring that everyone has a home. It works to keep people informed of the accelerating challenges of poverty and homelessness.
The Coalition’s Mission
“The Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless was the first advocacy organization in the Commonwealth with a mission dedicated exclusively to ending homelessness. The Coalition was founded by a group of concerned citizens who recognized that homelessness was a complex and wide-spread problem that was affecting men, women and children across the state. Realizing that emergency services alone could not solve homelessness, the Coalition’s mission is to address the broader factors that contribute to homelessness.”
