Solutions at Work

Solutions at Work was founded by a group of homeless individuals in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1989. Our mission is to break the cycle of poverty and homelessness by providing individuals and families with resources and opportunities to strengthen their self-confidence, achieve self-sufficiency, and participate in helping others. We envision a community where people no longer experience poverty or homelessness. We approach every aspect of our service in an inclusive, respectful, and compassionate manner.

Solutions at Work serves thousands of people living in poverty annually. Our programs provide the following resources because countless local homeless people have told us time and again that these are precisely things they need to get their lives back on track.

Children's Clothing, Books, and Toys The homeless and low-income parents who participate in our Children's Clothing Exchange trade their children's outgrown items for age-appropriate clothing, books, and toys.

Business Attire Our popular SolutionsWear program provides interview-appropriate clothing and accessories to men and women who are enrolled in area job-training programs.
