Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless

The Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless is a statewide nonprofit working toward lasting solutions to housing, income, health, education, and racial inequalities across Massachusetts. Its work combines policy advocacy, public education, collaboration, and attention to lived experience, with a vision of a Commonwealth where everyone has a safe, stable, and dignified place to call home.

Through its programs and initiatives, the Coalition supports homelessness prevention and housing stability while advancing equal access and systemic change. Its work includes A Bed for Every Child, which provides new beds to low-income children, and Birth to Big Kid, which supports low-income expectant mothers with safe-sleep education and resources extending into toddlerhood. The organization also shares updates and reports related to Massachusetts’ Emergency Assistance family shelter program.

The Coalition’s Get Help resources cover housing searches, shelter and re-housing guidance, benefits, tenant rights, food, health, and homelessness prevention.
