Given the ever-changing challenges posed by the pandemic, Housing Families has instituted a holistic Covid response, from expanding and adapting our current programming, to establishing new Covid assistance programs.
Our Solution
in rental assistance distributed during COVID-19 to over 200 households
households stabilized through homelessness prevention and legal services
Recognizing the significant impact the pandemic has had on our communities, Housing Families has launched a number of covid response initiatives to support the 2,600+ people served by our programs. We recently opened our Community Resource Hub which offers all our clients much-needed healthy food and household supplies. We opened a 22-bed homeless shelter for individuals to support Malden and the surrounding communities, and shifted some of our programmatic support to virtual models.
