Established in 1990, the Mission of the New England Center for Homeless Veterans is to extend a helping hand to homeless men and women veterans who are addressing the challenges of:
addiction
trauma
severe and persistent mental illness, and/or
unemployment
and who will commit themselves to sobriety, non-violence, and working for personal change. We are recognized as one of the most effective private veteran's transition programs in the country.
Established in 1974, the mission of Rosie’s Place is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for poor and homeless women to maintain their dignity, seek opportunity and find security in their lives.
We seek to fulfill this mission through the expression of our core values:
Welcoming; Unconditional love; Fair and non-judgmental treatment; Encouragement; Holistic approach; Alleviation of suffering; Truth; Pursuit of social justice; and Independence.
Rosie’s Place, a sanctuary for poor and homeless women, offers emergency and long-term assistance to women who have nowhere else to turn. Founded in 1974, Rosie’s Place welcomes each guest with respect and unconditional love. Rosie’s Place accepts no government funds, and relies instead on committed volunteers and private supporters to accomplish its effective and innovative work.
Established in 1990, Starlight’s network of experienced staff, committed volunteers and churches-in-training connect with individuals through street outreach and in-house services, which not only engage the personal concerns of homeless or street-involved individuals, but which also provide the critical field training for Christians seeking to build real relationships and minister effectively on the streets. On the ground relationship-building is supported by a foundation of targeted trainings for outreach volunteers and coaching for church-based teams. Training, coaching and mentoring includes everything from overviews of homelessness and street life, to the how-tos of outreach and relationship, to the principles of partnering with individuals seeking change.
Together, we can foster a culture of real relationships that facilitates people transitioning off of the streets and becoming integral and beloved members of our communities
