Samaritan Homeless Interim

Serving the community since 1984, Samaritan Homeless Interim Program (SHIP) is a faith-based, interfaith, community-funded grassroots organization in Somerville. It provides no-fee emergency interim services for people experiencing homelessness or near homelessness, including emergency interim housing opportunities, advocacy, interim counseling, and support services. SHIP states that services are tailored to each individual or family’s situation.

SHIP also addresses hunger through donated-meal and emergency food pantry programs. Its official information describes ready-to-eat meals, emergency subsistence food, holiday meals, and mobile meal support for people in need. The organization serves homeless and near-homeless individuals and working-poor families in the Somerset County region.
