HOMESAFE PROGRAM Homesafe serves South Shore families at risk for homelessness due to financial hardship. Any unexpected event such as illness, unemployment or hospitalization can easily place a family in crisis. Homesafe offers telephone counseling, information and referral, and limited financial assistance with overdue rent, utilities or medical expenses to those in need. Within Homesafe is a special program called Fresh Start which provides limited financial assistance to help move families living in shelters or motels into permanent housing. Financial counseling is offered to those who have located a new apartment in order to help insure a smooth transition and a successful outcome. Grants from both foundations and faith communities make the work of Homesafe possible. Interfaith Social Services enlists the help of other agencies to meet the needs of families in crisis and is most appreciative of such cooperation. Homesafe welcomes donations from individuals or communities who wish to engage in a vital program that works to prevent homelessness for vulnerable families. Please contact Jan Stewart at 617-773-6203 for further information. |
