Thousands of children and parents are on the verge of eviction in Massachusetts, and our shelters are overwhelmed. The situation is dire, but there's hope: FamilyAid's Homelessness Prevention Program can keep families in their homes.  Last year, we prevented 94% of referred families from becoming homeless. We need your support to help more families.  👉 Make a life-changing difference today.

Honored to have Rhode Island School of Design partnering with FamilyAid for a second year as we reimagine family emergency shelters and services to best meet the needs of children. Congratulations to Rachel Strompf on her brilliant graduate thesis on how to create trauma-reducing spaces for homeless children. Their inspirational work will come to life at our new Newton Family Navigation Center this fall. Thank you, Rachel and RISD! #CHIME, #kidsnotcargo

We connect children in our care with after-school programs and enrichment activities to ensure they have access to the resources and tools they need for healthy development. Together, we're building brighter futures for every child. 🌟📚

🚨 More than 2,700 children and parents in our state are on the brink of eviction, and emergency shelters can't accommodate them all. FamilyAid's Homelessness Prevention Program steps in before families lose their homes. Last year, we kept 94% of referred families from becoming homeless. For the cost of sheltering one family for a year, we can help 60 children and parents avoid homelessness altogether. Your support makes all the difference. 👉 Be the reason a family stays in their home:
