Mission:
The Friends of the Shattuck Shelter has changed its name...
hopeFound ends homelessness, one person at a time, by providing programs and services that help men and women achieve self-sufficiency and secure permanent housing.
hopeFound serves more than 3,500 people each year, in Boston and across Massachusetts. hopeFound is recognized both locally and nationally for program innovation and successful outcomes for chronically homeless individuals.
hopeFound programs and services are grounded in the values of:
~ respect for those we serve;
~ the potential of individuals to improve their lives;
~ the belief that shelters are an unacceptable form of permanent housing;
~ and that homelessness is a problem affecting the whole community and its solutions will come from our collective action and goodwill.
We will continue to operate the Shattuck Shelter, but the larger organization that provides these services will be known as hopeFound.
While our name is changing, our mission, "to help homeless men and women to a achieve self-sufficiency and secure permanent housing", remains unchanged.
