Additional information
Our program is designed to provide respite for families experiencing homelessness. As one of the largest family shelter providers in Massachusetts, in addition to shelter, we offer case management, workshops and trainings, supplemental resources, seasonal support, and more to 126 families.
Hildebrand exclusively accepts families referred by the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). They are welcomed with an orientation providing a complete overview of our program, which includes a description of services, expectations, and a list of resources available through Hildebrand and in the family’s new community. We assign a case manager to the family, and we also have stabilization programs to help families work towards self-sufficiency.
